DATE: 9 May
LOCATION: Money changing guy on La Paz and Ricardo Palma, Miraflores
RATE: 3.13
COMMENTS: He quoted me 3.12, but when I said '13' he asked me how much I was changing, and when I told him $100, he said OK. The fruit lady that he was talking to got a big kick out of the whole exchange. I looked at her, winked and said in Spanish, "One Sol is One Sol." She laughed, so I wished her a happy Mothers Day.

DATE: 14 May
LOCATION: Golden Palace Casino, San Isidro
RATE: 3.16

DATE: 14 May
LOCATION: Casino La Hacienda, Miraflores
RATE: 3.08

COMMENTS: These casinos have the same ownership group. Golden Palace always has the best exchange rate, and the Hacienda has the lowest. My 0nly theory is that they are taking advantage of the Miraflores Tourist Dollars, but that doesn't make much sense.

Be aware that banks charge a larger commission...you may end up getting less soles per dollar.
