I found the same thing. Seems many restaurants use 82ja to $1us as a set exchange rate when actual rate was 89ja to $1us. It's worth a trip to the cambioOriginally Posted by garysteph1018
If you have an iPod, "there's an app for that"It is a currency converter, and was very helpful on our trip. I say definitely use JA $ .... For example, we ate at 3 Dives, and dinner in American was $32.00, however, if we had paid in JA it would have converted to $28.00 American. I know it's only $5, but that adds up, and it is only one example.
But like Blake said... have both. We converted $160.00 to JA, and were fine for about 5 days. Plus, it's fun to say you have 1,000s of dollars!
Also, take some $5's & $1's for tips.
