Metal US Dollars
I seen what he said have you seen the new US dollar coin it's about the same as the GB pound coin weighs about the same if you think the other change is heavy fiil your shorts with these and try walking around in the sun. LOL If your pockets hold up or even your shorts.Going to look funny wearing suspenders just so you can give em out a tips.
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.
Paper Only
The U.S. 1$ coin is a novelty item on the island. The people would not be able to cash them in.
The Banks and the Casa's de Cambio will refuse all foreign coins for exchange, they want paper. The institutions have machines that count paper bills, not the coins. They do not want to accomodate the metal.

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".
I just joined this forum Thanks to PJT for a good and informative response. I do not think that I will continue with this forum due to people like Lechero and ricktoronto.I guess stupid people must try to insult other people for asking questions. It is a shame that these kind of people must be ignorant to feel good, I guess.

She could laminate them first.
Face it she's bringing a pail of these useless coins to fob off on the poor and downtrodden and nobody's convincing her differently.
Didn't mean to be rude was trying to make lite of the situation can't imagime someone getting offeneded so easily so i will apologize.
I find them to be a novelty at home yep they would stay dry but they couldn't use them so an answer to your question just take good old paper cash.You can get a small plastic zip wallet from some places to hold fishing lic for about a dollar works good to keep cash dry some come with clips so you can attach to your swim suit.
Try thinking about a guy with a pocket full of them getting out of the pool dragging his shorts down would look kinnda funny.
Have fun when your there.

Wet dollars or better yet (lightbulb goes on) wet pesos would be greatly appreciated by whomever is blessed by the benefactor.
