Today, April 17, 2023, marks the day that yours truly has seen a 99% percent drop in the value of the peso's fx rate (for the masses) with USD, from 4.03:1 to 403:1 . Cool to have converted at both rates (sheds a tear, awaits the Tshirt).
Even the dollar took about 90 years to achieve this feat...
Posted in the Pesos to Euros/Dollars thread but thought this warranted its own discussion, especially if people want to try some last-minute purchases before the surcharge goes into effect.
