I once overstayed the time allowed on the tourist card entry to the DR. I thought the tourist card allowed 90 days, not 30 days. The immigration officer pointed out the sign listing the overstay fees. I was charged the right amount, however, I thought it was rather odd that she had to go into her purse to give me change for a larger bill. Where I live, there is a separate cashier window, away from customs and immigration and they give you a government issued receipt for any payments made.
Did my overstay support the local economy? You bet it did, as I spent extra money on food, shopping, transportation etc.......
