It gets worse! I just found out that banks will accept pesos!


Uh, Banks are financial institutions, and if they're duly authorised for ForEx currency trading, this is entirely legal. Last I heard, a pizza joint ain't a financial institution. Neither is a grocery store, a Wal-Mart, etc.

Right. Please state the US law that prevents a store from accepting foreign currency for payment.

Exactly. You get the accurate exchange rate and don't get ripped off. And you can take your loose change there too, before you go to another country.
