How to save money on your Mexican holiday

Travel during shoulder seasons for lower prices on flights and accommodation. May to June and September to November are generally quieter periods with fewer tourists and more affordable options before the peak holiday season.
Dining out? Try local street food like tacos al pastor, tamales, and elotes. Delicious, authentic, and a fraction of the price of tourist restaurants.
Mexico's extensive bus network is a reliable and affordable way to travel between cities. Shared taxis (colectivos) are ideal for shorter trips around town.
Don't miss the free stuff. The Zócalo in Mexico City, the beaches of Isla Mujeres, and the Hierve el Agua rock formations are all accessible at little or no cost.

All about the Mexican Peso

What countries use the Mexican Peso?

The official currency of Mexico is the Mexican Peso, abbreviated as MXN and symbolised as $. One peso divides into 100 centavos.

You'll see the $ symbol used for prices throughout Mexico. It refers to pesos, not US dollars, so always check which currency a price is quoted in before you pay.

The reverses of the notes showcase UNESCO World Heritage sites, native flora and fauna, and iconic moments from Mexican history.
Modern MXN banknotes feature advanced security features including transparent windows, holographic elements, colour-shifting ink, and tactile markings for visually impaired users.
The $20, $50, and $100 peso notes in the current series are made of polymer, making them more durable and water-resistant than paper notes.

Travel Money Trivia - Mexico edition

The word "peso" comes from the Spanish word for "weight," reflecting the currency's origins in colonial-era silver trade.
In 1863, Mexico introduced coins denominated in centavos — the formal standardisation of the peso system that would evolve into today's MXN.
The Mexican Peso was the first currency in the world to use the dollar sign ($), which the United States later adopted for its own currency.
In 1993, Mexico redenominated its currency by removing three zeros from all prices and notes. What was 1,000 old pesos became 1 new peso, and the currency code changed from MXP to MXN, where the N stands for "nuevo" (new).
The Mexican Peso is the most traded currency in Latin America and one of the most liquid emerging market currencies in the world.

What is the currency of Mexico?
The official currency of Mexico is the Mexican Peso, abbreviated as MXN and symbolised as $. It's used throughout the country for all everyday transactions.
One peso divides into 100 centavos. Current banknotes come in $20, $50, $100, $200, $500, and $1,000 peso denominations. Coins come in $1, $2, $5, $10, and $20 peso denominations.
Worth noting: the $ symbol in Mexico refers to pesos, not US dollars. Always check which currency a price is quoted in before you pay.
What is the best currency to use in Mexico?
Mexican Pesos are the best currency to use in Mexico. While US dollars are accepted in some tourist areas, you'll almost always get a better deal paying in local currency. Businesses that accept USD typically use unfavourable conversion rates.
Cash is essential in Mexico, particularly outside major cities. Street food, markets, taxis, tips, and many smaller restaurants and businesses operate on a cash-preferred or cash-only basis. Cards are accepted at larger hotels, chain restaurants, and tourist businesses in major cities like Mexico City, Cancun, and Guadalajara.
Most travellers carry a mix of pesos for everyday spending and a card for larger purchases.

How much is 1 AUD in Mexican Pesos?
What affects the AUD to MXN exchange rate?
The AUD to MXN exchange rate is influenced by a range of economic factors, including:
- Interest rate decisions by the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Bank of Mexico (Banco de México)
- Global commodity prices, particularly for Australian mineral exports and Mexican oil production
- US economic conditions, as the Mexican peso is closely tied to the US dollar due to trade flows through NAFTA/USMCA
- Broader investor sentiment toward emerging market currencies
Rates change daily, so it's worth checking the live AUD to MXN rate above before you buy.
How do I convert leftover Mexican Pesos back to AUD?
How much spending money do I need for Mexico?
Mexico varies significantly in cost depending on your destination and travel style. As a rough guide:
- Budget travellers staying in hostels and eating street food typically spend AUD $40–$70 per day.
- Mid-range travellers average AUD $100–$160 per day once accommodation, restaurant dining, and activities are factored in.
- Beach resorts like Cancun and Los Cabos sit at the higher end. Mexico City, Oaxaca, and smaller towns are significantly more affordable.
Tipping is standard practice in Mexico. Budget 10–15% at restaurants, and small tips for taxi drivers, hotel staff, and tour guides are expected.
