Is it a bad idea for a Pizzeria in Dallas to accept pesos? Or is it smart business?

In some ways it is smart as long as they can exchange it easily. But on the other hand how much do we want to help Illegal aliens live here. It's a win/lose situation.

Something I thought was interesting was that the article said many companies along the border with Mexico and Canada tend to accept both currencies.

That makes sense it would be easy to exchange currency.
