cancun
Just wondering if the exchange rate for American dollar is good these days for the Mexican peso.
Also, can someone suggest a store in Cancun where I could buy some wooden toys for kids. Not sure if I can even find any wooden toys, but often Fodor friends have wonderful ideas and helpful hits.
Appreciate your help. Have a good night.

Bank exchange rate is currently $1 USD = 13.4710 MXN
You'll get almost that by using a bank ATM with your debit card, slightly less exchanging cash-for-cash at a cambio, likely even a bit less if you are spending USD in a shop or restaurant directly.
Hopefully you'd never get less than about 12/1. But sometimes vendor default to the old 10/1, which is why it's a good idea to exchange your own money.
Although it is common in Cancun for places to accept USD.
