Mexico Announces new peso-only policy

[lifeonlake]

This is a write and paste from an Air Canada Media release (it was an image and I can't find the story yet).---Quote (Originally by ACV)---*Mexico Announces new, peso-only policy**Montreal - September 15, 2010 - *Effective September 14, 2010, all vacationers travelling to Mexico will be required to use Mexican pesos, as it will be the only currency accepted. American and Canadian dollars will no longer be accepted in the country.The use of international credit cards is unaffected as transactions will continue to be processed in Mexican pesos, as per current practice.It is recommended that travellers bring Mexican pesos and/or credit cards to avoid difficulties.---End Quote---(The rest is just ACV promotional information)...Sounds like it's a similar situation to what Cuba did a few years ago (except unlike Cuba, they aren't creating one specifically for tourists).
