Hi.

I have one cuñado of mine here visiting from Spain.

He just called and told me it is impossible for him to change a 200 and a 500 Euro bill into pesos.

He said he went all over including Scotia Bank etc. nobody wants to exchange? I just cannot believe that?

Does anybody else had problems like that and does somebody know where in SD or BC he could get his money changed?

TY!

In Santo Domingo you should try the exchange offices on the
corner of Av. San Martin y Calle Maria Montez next to Ban Reservas.

If you want, I need to change 30,000 pesos to euros.  If your brother in law is helped with it I can ‘buy’ one 500 euro bill from him at the going rate.
