Why do dominican business not accept torn money or mondey with writing on it?
I was wondering, why the dominicans do not accept torn money or scribbled cash? I mean it's money. Even the motochoncos do not accept it. The banks and government are real hard on that.

Some months ago
There was a government decree against the defacing of paper money.
Now, if you should have a defaced note, you are obliged to take it to a bank for replacement. It is a hassle.

Yes, it is a hassle. The banks don't want it either!

Kinda funny, the banks dont want DR currency with writing on it or torn, however they would gladly accept foreign currency with writing on it. I think they should think this one over.

Maybe you actually have to go to Banco Central. I know that the banks refuse to take them.

You should have seen the money before they made this rule. It was dirty, torn, smelly. At least now they are trying to keep better quality bills in circulation.

Absolutely correct, before this law was voted, the dominican peso notes were the dirtiest I had ever seen.

Ten peso bills are the dirtest, they should make them coins! On my way to the airport this morning, at the toll booth, I got handed down what must be, by far,the smelliest, dirtiest 10 peso bill ever to circulate our in our funky economy.
Looks like the window wiper kid at 27 con lincoln is going to make some money today!
