Subject 15: 5, 10, and 20 Peso Metal Coins Minted from 1989.

The Department of Issuance and Programming issues this circular, which constitutes Subject 15: “5, 10, and 20 Peso Metal Coins Minted from 1989,” which replaces Operational and Service External Circular DTE-190 Subject 41: “NEW METAL COINS” dated April 14, 2025. This is due to a change in the area responsible for this regulation.

Likewise, the content is adjusted to remove information corresponding to the 50 peso coin, which is incorporated into Operational and Service External Circular DEP-497 Subject 14: “50 Peso Metal Coin,” and only the historical record of the characteristics of the 5, 10, and 20 peso denominations minted from 1989 is preserved, which are no longer produced.
