| Comments |
By 1993, the Dominican Republic had spent most of the preceding decade lurching through currency crises tied to falling commodity prices and an unsustainable exchange rate peg. The Central Bank had been printing domestically since the 1970s, which gave it direct control over output but also removed the external quality checks that foreign security printers typically impose. This 1,000 Pesos Oro denomination was among the higher-value notes in circulation during a period when inflation had steadily eroded the peso's purchasing power, making four-figure denominations increasingly routine rather than exceptional.
The security package — watermark and thread only — was relatively modest for a high-denomination note by early 1990s standards, when many Latin American central banks were adopting more layered features.
