Didn't think I would get such stupid and rude responses to this question. I use them at the resorts to tip at the pool and beach. In case you didn't notice , dollar bills can get wet. It is very easy to carry 5 or 6 of these in a swim suit. I guess Lechero doesn't tip, I am not that way, I like to tip.
They aren't as stupid as giving money as tips that the recipient cannot spend or convert to pesos. Why not offer old hubcaps? They are shiny too and equally useless, unless the waiter has the same car and then he's got a hubcap, so in fact there is a better chance the hubcap is of more value.
Manhole covers, bottlecaps, frisbees, and garbage can lids are other round possibilites.
You can't exchange coins from other countries in most countries, even US$ coins are unwelcome here in Canada.
The answer was correct and this is another example of "I am asking a question, I know what I want to hear, and not necessarily the correct answer".
