The Dominican Peso is the currency of the Dominican Republic. The name of the monetary unit, indicated since 1947 on banknotes, is the “golden peso” (Spanish: peso oro). The Dominican peso was fi...rst introduced at the same time as the countrys independence from Haiti in 1844. It replaced the Haitian gourde at par and was subdivided into 8 reais. In 1877, the centavo became the currency of the peso at the ratio of 1 peso = 100 centavos. In 1891, a new currency was introduced - the Dominican franc, which, however, did not replace the peso, but was in circulation at the same time as it. The Dominican franc was introduced in order to enter the country into the Latin Monetary Union, but already in 1897 it was canceled.
