NEW YORK STORE ACCEPTS MEXICAN CASH

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

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.

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
