Cost of Living

Mexican Nuevo Pesos are actually demarcated with a $ sign, so to distinguish from the US Dollars (US$) that are also in use, especially in areas frequented by tourists, the symbols M$, N$ or NP are found. It is worthwhile keeping the current exchange rate in mind, as some establishments offer better deals when paying in Dollars rather than Pesos and vice versa.

One-litre bottle of mineral water: M$5
33cl bottle of beer: M$8
Financial Times newspapers: British newspapers not available
36-exposure colour film: M$55
City-centre bus ticket: M$2
Adult football ticket: M$30-250
Three course meal with wine/beer: M$250

1 Mexican Nuevo Peso (M$1) = £0.06; US$0.09; C$0.14; A$0.15; €0.08
1 American Dollar (US$1) = M$11.06; £0.64; C$1.49; A$1.65; €0.93
