Note: Mexico does not
have any currency exchange controls. Nevertheless, the Central Bank of Mexico (Banco
de Mexico) does issue (daily, Monday through Friday, not counting holidays and
weekends) the official government rate of exchange. The private banks and money
exchange houses set their own rates at which they will transact currency
purchases and sales.
