can I use canadian money in mexico

Does anyone know what currency I can use in
Mexico. We are coming to Mexico soon, never been before but friends told us we could use our own canadian money. Which would be the easiest for us, can someone give us info on this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hola! Not sure where you folks are buying your Pesos in Canada but on Friday, the Royal Bank was selling at 6.02 to the Cdn $. My wife works at a Royal Branch & confirmed that. By Saturday, that was down to 5.999 but still a lot higher than the 5.3-5.4 being mentioned. We have been buying up Pesos (because of the rate) and leaving them in the safety deposit box for our next trip).

P.S. As of first thing this morning the Royal rate is .1673 or 5.98 to the $

Hey PT, roll that Canuck money and send it up - I will get the guys some paper cash they can exchange to pesos! LOL
