This is a tremendously interesting website, though the Dominican Republic is not one of the countries of the Americas for which specific info is given. But most board users can easily see how the value of the money in their country has changed over the years, then compare this with what you know about the decline of the value of the peso in the DR.
You can also see a table showing the value of the gold taken from the Americas in the 1500s and sent to Spain. A great many of those ships passed close to the Dominican Republic and were the prime targets of the pirates who made their bases in places like Puerto Plata and Samana.
