Spanish "d" sounds like the English "th". There is no rule, our "d" sounds like that. If you say Dinero, Mercado, Idioma... the sound of "d" will be the same

Well... I guess it is not the same sound. At least all my English teachers used to say that. The Spanish "d" is this phoneme: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_alveolar_stop While the English "th" is this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_dental_fricative
