It's wild while living in Argentina as a foreigner to experience 3 different exchange rates for US dollars to Argentine pesos Official gov rate (e.g. airport stand): $1 for ~185 pesos VISA/Mastercard (diff than official gov rate as of Nov 2022): $1 for ~330 pesos Black market ("blue dollar"): $1 for ~370 pesos

so wild! does the blue dollar still exist? heard they got rid of it back in 2015 folks were taking the ferry from BA to Uruguay just to take out USD to exchange on Calle Florida 😆

The street rate very much still exists (where I got the bulk of my cash)
