A while back DR1 reported that a ship was on its way to the DR with thousands of 1, 5, 10 and 25 peso coins and was expected to land end of July(?). Anyone have an update? was it hijacked? Did it sink? Still no coins in circlation.
We're allready there. At least I'm paperless and coinless. (Broke)But are we not going paperless and coinless as a fellow member stated here a few ago......
I also would like to know. First there was nothing. Then they had tons of 5's. I was getting them from the banks in 5,000.00 bags. Then no more 5's. A couple of weeks later 10's not as plentifull but something. Now no more 10's. 25's are available.
The 5's whent to the poker machine guys. They are hogging them. 10's I dunno.
I'm back to paying 10% commission on change. The Central Bank is handing it out coin by coin.
i said before and i say again.stores and bars should start giving and accepting usa currancy at an even 35 peso to the dollar. then at least there would be currency to exchange, but the rate has to be the same both ways to make work.
SANTO DOMINGO.- The people cannot explain why there is no change on the streets. Neither can the authorities been able to explain what the real situation is, and they have denied, sometimes, that there is a scarcity of coins. However, each day sees "change" become a big business with commissions being charged depending on how much it is needed.
