Money

The Dominican peso is the Dominican Republic's currency. It is simple to exchange US money and travelers' checks.You can use banks or official exchange bureaus to swap money (casas de cambio). In most ATMs, UK credit and debit cards will function. When taking cash from an ATM, use extreme caution and, if possible, withdraw money from a bank branch, shopping center, or supermarket rather than an ATM on the street.

In the Dominican Republic, credit card cloning and identity theft are a concern. When paying, avoid allowing your payment card out of your sight and instead pay in cash.

Coins of 25 and 50 cents, which are rarely used, as well as 1 and 5 pesos, will be available for exchange. There are 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 1000, and 2000 peso notes available. The US dollar can also be used as a second coin because it is accepted by all tourist establishments. Additionally, the US dollar, like the Euro, may be exchanged for pesos at any bank, exchange house, or many hotels.
