Re: Pls Explain DR Currency/Denominations
Bring US$ or US$ travellers cheques, otherwise you will be penalized about 10%. Same applies to major European currencies. It is illegal to bring dominican pesos into the country or take them out. For tips at the airport, bring US 1$ bills. One Canadian dollar, if converted first to US dollars is worth about 10 Dominican pesos. One Canadian dollar, if converted directly is worth about 9 Dominican pesos.
