The ratio of the amount of money Dominic received to the amount of money Josephine received to the amount of money George received was 3:5:9.
So, for every 3 parts of the ratio, Dominic received $60/3 = $<<60/3=20>>20.
Since Dominic received $60, then the total ratio is composed of 3 + 5 + 9 = <<3+5+9=17>>17 parts.
Therefore, the sum of money is $20 x 17 = $<<20*17=340>>340. Answer: \boxed{340}.
