About Dominican Peso (RD$)

Subdivided into 100 centavos (no longer in active circulation). Banknotes: RD$20 (rare), RD$50, RD$100, RD$200, RD$500, RD$1,000, RD$2,000 (the highest denomination, introduced 2014; current series features Dominican historical figures — Padre Billini, Salomé Ureña, Juan Pablo Duarte, Gregorio Luperón, Salomé Ureña, Heroínas Mirabal sisters, Las Casas del Cordón); coins: RD$1, RD$5, RD$10, RD$25. The Dominican Republic is the Caribbean's largest economy by nominal GDP (~$120B in 2024) and one of Latin America's fastest-growing — averaging 5-6% GDP growth annually pre-COVID with strong post-pandemic recovery. Major economic sectors include tourism (the Caribbean's #1 tourist destination, ~10 million visitors annually — Punta Cana, Puerto Plata, Santo Domingo Colonial Zone UNESCO site), remittances (~10% of GDP from US diaspora — ~2 million Dominicans in the US), free-trade zone manufacturing (textiles, medical devices, electronics), mining (gold from Pueblo Viejo, Barrick Gold's largest single asset). BCRD targets 4% CPI inflation ± 1 percentage point.
