Rule · BANREP · 13 Mar 2026
The Bank of the Republic issued Operational and Services External Circular DTE-190 to fully repeal the previous circular regarding new metallic coins. This regulatory update reorganizes information by transferring details on discontinued 5, 10, and 20 peso coins to separate historical records while maintaining the 50 peso coin specifications under the Department of Emission and Programming. The change reflects an administrative shift to separate the production status of obsolete denominations from the currently circulating 50 peso coin.
