new limits on dollar transactions

[laconstance]

Last fall, I discovered that the regular banks no longer change U.S. Dollars in Guanajuato. Only Banamex, and you are limited to $400 U.S. per day. It was pretty inconvenient for me, because I had brought U.S. dollars for a medical procedure (having been told it needed to be paid for in dollars), but it turned out that I needed to pay in pesos. I was running all around trying to get rid of my wad of U.S. dollars, in advance of the procedure, lest I be incarcerated at the hospital!
