Puerto Rico is part of the United States of America. It does not have an independent currency. The currency used there is the U.S. Dollar, printed and coined under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Treasury and the endorsement of the Treasurer of the United States. The U.S. Mint produces the coinage to be circulated in the United States. The main Mint facility is in Washington, D.C. Four branch facilities share the production of the coins. The branch facilities are located in Philadelphia, PA; Denver, CO; San Francisco, CA and West Point, NY. The Federal Reserve Note (dollar bill), follows the same hierarchy yet its production is the responsibility of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing with locations in Washington, D.C. and Fort Worth, TX. There is no rate of exchange because we use the same currency.
