How to Convert a Dominican Peso to USD

The Dominican peso, abbreviated DOP, is the official currency of the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean. Dominican Republic residents would need to convert their pesos to the United States dollar (USD) when traveling to the United States or other countries that use the dollar, such as nearby Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. It's often helpful to convert the currency before traveling so you know how much money you'll need to exchange. Currency exchange rates change constantly, so it's best to use an online currency converter that uses the most up-to-date rates for DOP to USD.
