money at border...watch out for scams
I've crossed at Boten-Mohan a couple of times, only into China, never southbound, and changed small amounts at the border. When not rushed, I had no problem, but once on the through van I was hurried to get back in the van and ended up with a couple fake notes (inexpensive and interesting bookmarkers).
