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
