Which is correct? I am talking about cash.
If I am travelling with a two year old, does this count as a person and I can take twice as much?
Thanks for your help!

It's US $ 10,000. No, the child is a minor, for crying out loud!!. Why don't you transfer that money from your account from where you live to a bank in the DR. If you do not have a account in the DR, go to Western Union or any other transfer agencies/travel offices and transfer it to yourself from where you live and then pick them up when you get to the DR. My brother does that ALL the time and never has a problem. They got him once carrying more than what he should and not only that he missed his plane but you really do not want to know all the fines that he had to pay.
Ps: If you put it in the baby's diapers, you are up for a big surprise!.
Pss: Transfer agencies CAN NOT transfer more than US $ 10,000 but nobody says that you can not have someome else transfer you money also.
