Mexican Money
In Mexico, the currency they use is based on a peso. Currently, one U.S. dollar is worth about 12. 3 pesos. So, one peso would be worth less than a dime but more than a nickel. I usually try to estimate in my head about how much things cost. For example, if an item costs 120 pesos, I know that's about $10 U.S. dollars. Tonight I went out to dinner, and my meal cost $87 pesos or about $7 U.S. dollars. One fun thing about the money is that the bills are all different colors. You can see a few different coins and bills below in the picture.
