As Salam alaikum
I have given $3,000 and $5,000 in dowry (US dollars). I have been told this is a lot so maybe less than that would be more on target. A woman can ask for anything for dowry.
I've heard of woman just asking for a nice qur'an.
For what that's worth...
As Salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu
