    Interesting. xe has the rate at J$126.3407 = US$1. I know I won't get the full trading amount, but J$119 seems low.
    We're all in this together and none of us is getting out alive.

    126 to 1 is the current inter-bank rate. You won't get that anywhere other at an ATM or using a card instead of cash.

    No Cambio or bank ever exchanges at the inter-bank rate

    The inter-bank rate is the rate banks give each other...

    119 is completely within reason, if you think that is low, NCB is giving 106 to 1 today...

    Yup, 119 today at downtown cambio. We seem to be getting a better rate paying in US$ at some of the restaurants than JD$

    Actually we were on the west end at a small place called Motion HQ, formerly called Pressa's One Love and Choices. The rate they gave was about 125 to 1
