תנו רבנן המוציא שטר חוב על חבירו כתוב בו בבל מגבהו ממעות בבל כתוב בו ארץ ישראל מגבהו ממעות ארץ ישראל כתוב בו סתם הוציאו בבבל מגבהו ממעות בבל הוציאו בארץ ישראל מגבהו ממעות ארץ ישראל כתוב בו כסף סתם מה שירצה לוה מגבהו מה שאין כן בכתובה

Our Rabbis taught: One who produces a debt document against his fellow, and in it is written Babylonian, he collects in Babylonian currency. If in it is written, the Land of Israel he collects with coins from the Land of Israel. If nothing is written in it, then if it was presented in Babylonia, he pays him in Babylonian currency; and, if it was presented in the Land of Israel, he pays him in the currency of the Land of Israel. If in it is written “silver” with no explanation, he collects only whatever the borrower wishes. [This is a ruling] does not apply to a ketubah.

Tosefta Ketubot

One who produces a contract written in Bavel, he collects based on it Babylonian money. [If it were written in] Eretz Yisrael, he collects on it Eretz Yisraeli money. If it were written without specification and he produced it in Bavel, he collects on it Babylonian money; [but if he produced it] in Eretz Yisrael, he collects upon it Eretz Yisraeli money. If it were written in it "money" without specification—then he can collect in any location['s currency] he wants, which is not true for a wife's ketubah [which must be Eretz Yisraeli money]. (Translated from Ehrfurt manuscript).
