| Comments |
BA International — formerly British American Bank Note Company — printed this note in Ottawa during a period when the Banco Central was consolidating its series ahead of the 2004 monetary reform, which would see the peso oro replaced by a restructured peso following a severe banking crisis that wiped out several private Dominican banks and triggered emergency IMF intervention.
The cotton substrate from this period is known to show premature surface wear along the horizontal fold lines, a recurring issue with Dominican notes of this generation that circulated heavily in a cash-dependent economy.
