Hi, I’m leaving soon for Punta Cana—what kind of money should we bring: Canadian dollars, US dollars, or are we forced to exchange once we arrive? Thanks

Hi! The local currency is the Dominican peso. You can get them from ATMs at the airport or exchange bureaus on-site. The best rates are usually with a card. Cheers!

USD, but if you're coming from Europe, euros work too. Don’t exchange money at the airport in the middle of nowhere—the exchange rate is better elsewhere. Some French locals there told me that. We’re leaving on Friday. Have a great trip!
