Dominican peso, the local currency is a hundred centavos. In the current catalogue of coins of the Dominican Republic survived only 1, 5, 10 and 25 pesos.
In 1937 coin series has been much bigger: 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 centavos and ½ pesos. In 1939, it added one peso. Since 1947 peso began to be called "Golden." But inflation does not calculate with such a dignified title, much dropped the value of the coins of the Dominican Republic. The name "Golden peso" has disappeared from the dictionary of the Dominicans. And since 1967, ½ and 1 peso ceased to be silver.
