Description

The first signs of the Dominican peso date back to 1844, when it replaced the Haitian gourde. A second Dominican currency was issued between 1891 and 1897, the franc. But it did not replace the Dominican peso until 1905, when the US dollar replaced the peso until 1937 when regulation was generated to define the Dominican peso as the national currency.
