How to triple your Dollars and Euro in Argentina 🇦🇷

When I arrived in Argentina I was confused about the money. Some Argentinian I had met in Europe had told me to bring a lot of cash because by exchanging it in the street I would get double the money I would by withdrawing it from ATM. How could that be possible? Sounded too good to be true and I worried about possibly being scammed. The reality turned out being rosy.

Your english is fine Danny. Don't listen to the whiners who have never left the states in their life. You really don't need to put the subtitles on the screen at all. Really they just clutter the screen. Those few people who might not understand you can always hit the CC button on screen and add subtitles any time they want. Your videos are good man. I'm going to watch them all. Would love to see a few more from Argentina. Happy travels.

[@DannyRossellini]

There will be plenty of Argentinian content soon

[@ocaraevil]

@@DannyRossellini i think you could change it or use it directly on dollars. your rate should be 1000 per 1. (almost every place accept dollars(is better in smaller bills))

Thank you boss

[@rickurt1]

Great video. Thanks. The peso is fluctuating incredibly. Now with the tourist peso for credit cards, everything changes.

[@nickfranco7977]

Is there still a massive rate of exchange up charge on credit cards?

[@rickurt1]

@nickfranco7977 I didn't see any. I was charged at the MEP rate, and 2 or 3 weeks later I received some refunds.

[@costasmavrelis780]

Ask at the jewelry stores if they do exchange money.

[@boink800]

But ... Milei devalued the peso to 800 to the US Dollar. That's almost the black market rate, almost (which is around 1000 to the US Dollar).

[@DannyRossellini]

This video was filmed before that. My aim is to show that you don't necessarily need to be ripped off by banks (that even now will take a total of 30-40% fee cause they add a 10-15% withdrawal commission) or go to find the unofficial street exchange (that are only in big cities and in some specific streets)

I moved to Argentina. I show how you can do it directly through Western Union if you wanted. Also many caves/exchange houses all over the country.

[@weelass3188]

Not noventa y cuatro. It's novecientos cuarenta por un Euro. Almost everyone on that street knows you are walking around with a big bundle of money.

[@DannyRossellini]

True and true:)

[@viarnay]

It is legal to buy foreign currency since today with no limits....😊

[@marcgafner3524]

Actually since about one year you can also use your foreing credit card. You get a very similar rate as the blue dollar. If you want to change cash my advise is to do it through western union

[@DannyRossellini]

With credit card you lose around 15% comparing to blue dollar, and many stores and business don't accept it or make you pay an additional commission.

[@riprowley2562]

Ciao, Danny. Happy New Year from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🥂. We visit B.A next month. Do you know which streets the Bureaux de Change are in there please? Grazie mille.

[@DannyRossellini]

If you stay in San Telmo (center) go to Calle Florida. If you stay in Palermo, you'll find them near Plaza Armenia or near Plaza Italia

[@marcgafner3524]

My advice is to send money to yourself throug western union, you will get the same rate and dont have to go walking around with too much cash. You can now also use your credit card and you will get a very similar rate

Your English Is Just Find Mate. Keep Up The Good Work

[@Z_Victory_Z]

01:44 Just a quick English tip regarding an error that many Romance language speakers make when speaking in English: The verb "explain" takes an indirect object. "I will explain to you how to get to the station", for example. We can never say "explain me" or "explain you" in English.

[@DannyRossellini]

Thank you boss, will keep in mind 😉

[@prodiusm8060]

Danny, I would love to retire to Argentina. West Union is running out of money to pay you. Can these places exchange using a US Credit Card?

[@DannyRossellini]

I don't think these money exchange offices accept credit card transfers, never heard about anyone doing it. But are you sure Western Union is running out of money?? Who told you this?

[@sgsanchez90]

As all the tourist were going to the illegal market, the Government implemented an especial regime for payments with foreign credit cards, that is hard to explain, but it used a different exchange rate that is the result of buying an stock in dollar and selling it in pesos (not so different rate to the illegal market). I'm not sure that rule is still in place. However, the new Government changed the official exchange rate and there isn't that much of a difference within rates now.

[@rickjahndom]

great information. thanks for that! In Cordoba, how much (in pesos) do you need to live... not including rent?

[@DannyRossellini]

Not much really. €500 perhaps

[@pabloe.echeverria516]

Todos los argentinos cambiamos los usd a pesos en las cuevas. Solo que ahora el nuevo gobierno actualizo la cotizacion y es casi igual al que tienen las cuevas.

@@fayedtacfine4638 1usd=1030$. Te van q cobrar TAX en todos lados. Luego tenes que realizar un tramites engorrosos con todas los tickets en el aeropuerto y no ess instantaneo la devolución. Incluso no dan tickets en muchos lados. Lo ideal venir con dolares de franja azul y cambiarlos aca en una cueva.

[@tradeordie]

is this still true after they changed the official rate to be similar to the blue dolar rate?

[@DannyRossellini]

Even now, you'll save at least a 30/40% comparing to withdrawing from ATM (that charge an additional 10/20% commission). The aim of this video is to help tourists navigating the huge mess that is the current Argentinian economy!

[@boink800]

President Milei put the new rate at 800 pesos to the US Dollar but the real rate, the free market rate, is around 1000 pesos to the US Dollar. Go figure.

[@GetPaidtoMonger]

So if I have crypto/USD it's a good time to move there?

Definitely.

[@cigartime5384]

What I love about the Argentine peso is by carrying it in your wallet you always have emergency toilet paper.

[@tiborzkarate1]

You are wrong about the exchange rate; One US dollar is around 800 pesos.as of February 2024 in the official bank exchange.

[@liwang4022]

830 actually
