Circle K stores accepting pesos

A local convenience store is accepting currency from across the border.

Circle K Stores Inc. is accepting Mexican pesos. The chain has been accepting pesos at locations in Arizona for decades, Texas and New Mexico for about a year, and now Circle K officials are testing the service at stores in California.

Company officials say accepting Pesos has been successful and is a way of opening the market to all customers. Circle K charges a small percentage for the exchange rate it pays to its bank.

The company has established a rate of exchange of 11 pesos for every U.S. Dollar, but the rate is subject to change.

Customers will see signs in Circle K stores indicating whether that location accepts pesos. Change for merchandise purchased in pesos will be given in dollars.

Circle K officials are looking into accepting Canadian currency, and some stores in the eastern United States accept euros.

And they probably take Canadian on the north tier of states, no big deal.

Actually it is a big deal. This is Screaming NWO and NAU.

I thought this was against the law? I thought only the dollar was allowed as LEGAL TENDER in the USA. That's why we used to throw away Canadian pennies and dimes and some pesos that found their way into our change. No honorable business would accept them back as "legal tender" if we got stuck with a foreign coin.

THIS IS A BIG DEAL. Once again, unscrupulous business owners, many of them questionable in their legal status who own these mini marts don't care what kind of money they get paid in as long as they make money. They have no allegiance to this country or to the DOLLAR. THIS SCREAMS OF NAU!

I don't utilize Circle K stores and now for sure I won't! Traitors!

I agree....wasn't that the reason the Liberty dollar people were raided?
