adolphsj Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Is there anywhere Lakeside that takes large amounts moneda, exchanging for paper efectivo? I’ve already given millions to charity so this is an unrelated question, not inviting that suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 I think you have to get the paper wrappers from a bank. The bank will the unwrap them and dump them in their change counting machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHILLIN Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Before Covid, there was a local woman who paid for a number of pretty handpainted clay piggybanks. These banks could only be opened by smashing them. They were distributed for people to put in their small change, or bills if they wanted to. The piggybanks were then given as prizes by teachers to students who had excelled in some way or another. Great program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringohombre Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 I have a large bowl where I deposit all change from my pocket under 1 peso. I was thinking of taking it to my bank (Bancomer) and putting it in front on a teller and asking to deposit to my account...no? yes? maybe? will this be a wise move?

Bisbee Gal Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 There is a Piggy Bank program here that helps fund a girl's home. You can contact the owner of Quinta del Sol in Ajijic to get a free piggy bank. http://www.quintadelsolajijic.com/ I fill one up every year.

I have empty banks for anyone who would like to participate. The banks go to Love in Action during a 3 Kings Day party each year. We will be giving out last years on Thursday Jan 6.

CHILLIN Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Another good thing about piggy bank programs is that it may not be enough to drastically change lives, but coins are handy for bus fares throughout the year. Liquipure you are a very lucky person, getting to see all those Mexican smiles lighting up on King's Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adolphsj Posted January 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Ok will definitely do…..we did the Love in Action banks every year with Beth until she and Kevin moved back to Indiana and thought the program had stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post the time as soon as I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafterbr Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 If you are out in the community, I don't see where you will ever have spare change. You have the beggars at the Ajijic Tiangus, Superlake, and the main street of Chapala plus poor nino's. In fact I have to limit it. One beggar at the tiangus, one at Superlake and one in Chapala plus the nino's. I try to keep a few pesos back for the autobus but its hard.
