CASAS de CAMBIO-SHOP/COMPARE- and save 5% or more!
On Sat. Feb. 20, 2010 On the above date I checked
many cambio casas:
I checked Monygram: 1.760
Note: I always check them
because they are in my favorite supermarket...and
they ALWAYS offer the poorest prices.
In El Centro the COP CAMBIO prices per one dollar were:
|
1.820 |
|
|
1.820 |
|
|
1.830 |
|
|
1.840 |
|
|
1.840 |
|
|
1.850 |
|
and one Casa
de Cambio offered: |
1.860 |
|
I changed $790
u.s. at 1.860 and received: |
1.469.400 |
|
With the International
company I would have received 1.390.400. . . a
LOSS OF: cop79.OOO
Sooooo, in a short healthy walk, and 20 minutes time, I
saved more than 5%, using a local Cartagena company.
In this declining world economy, (caused
mostly by governments-starting with the u.s. govt.)
every Peso saved, helps!
There is no use in me telling you the name and location
of the Casa because the rates
and Casa's can very frequently.
Do Your Own DUE DILIGENCE...enjoy walking
around beautiful Cartagena.... you will be safe. Have fun,
and $AVE!
