«Breaking News» Mexican goods store in New York is now accepting PESOS

A local New York City business owner has added a new form of payment currency: the Mexican peso.

Guillaume Guevara opened his small store, Miscelanea NY, three years ago, selling Mexicans good in Manhattan's East Village.

Guevara knew of people who would travel south of the border, returning with great stories but also with the neighboring country's paper currency.

This normally meant Mexicans bills, and coins too, would just linger in their homes since they weren't accepted by businesses in the United States.

Miscelanea NY, a store that specializes in Mexican goods in New York City, is accepting Mexican currency as a form of payment

Local New York City business owner Guillaume Guevara has welcomed the idea of allowing customers to pay with the Mexican peso at his small store

The clever shop owner then just thought why not add the option of allowing his customers to pay with the Mexican peso at Miscelanea NY along with the customary method of the American dollar, credit and debit cards.

'There are a lot of people that go on vacation to Oaxaca, Tulum, even Mexico City,' Guevara told Spectrum Noticias 1. 

'And they return and they're stuck with $300 pesos that they couldn't spend at the airport. I tell them, "you can have $300 pesos in a box for 20 years or you're better off buying a pie or soft drink.'''

Guevara's innovative business idea took off last week and runs through the end of September.

And so far it's worked, according to a customer that spoke to Spectrum Noticias 1.

'I think it's a good idea being that a lot of people come from Mexico on vacation and they might have a certain amount of pesos and instead of exchanging them, they can come here to Miscelanea and purchase with pesos.' 

Only Mexican bills are accepted under this unique, customer friendly concept. Any leftover change is handed back in the form of American currency

The exchanged rate is rounded off, $20 pesos for a dollar to be exact, rather than the listed Tuesday listed rate of $18.78 pesos per American dollar, to make the transaction much smoother.

'We're applying the great Cancun method, it's $20 pesos for a dollar,' Guevara said.   

At Miscelanea NY, customers are welcomed until the end of September to pay with the Mexican peso if they wish to do so

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
