The Costa Rican Colon (CRC) is the official currency of Costa Rica, a beautiful country located in Central America. The currency is named after Christopher Columbus, who is known as Cristóbal Colón in Spanish. The colon has been in circulation since 1896, replacing the Costa Rican peso.

One colon is divided into 100 centimos, although centimo coins are not commonly used today. The symbol for the Costa Rican Colon is ₡. The colon operates under a managed float exchange system, meaning its value is influenced by various factors such as inflation, government policy, and market dynamics.

Banknotes of the colon come in different denominations: ₡1,000, ₡2,000, ₡5,000, ₡10,000, ₡20,000, ₡50,000, and ₡100,000. Coins are available in denominations of ₡5, ₡10, ₡25, ₡50, ₡100, and ₡500. The design of the currency typically features notable figures from Costa Rican history and important national landmarks. The colon is recognized as a stable currency in the region, and it also serves as a medium of exchange for local transactions.

What is Comoros Franc (KMF)

The Comoros Franc (KMF) is the official currency of the Comoros, an island nation located in the Indian Ocean, between Madagascar and the coast of Mozambique. The Comoros Franc is subdivided into 100 centimes, although the centime is not widely used for transactions. The currency symbol for the Comoros Franc is Fr or CF.

The Comoros Franc was introduced in 1970, replacing the previous currency, the Comorian Rupee. The Comoros economy is relatively small, and it largely relies on agriculture, fishing, and tourism. The currency is heavily influenced by various external factors, including the country's trade with France, its former colonial ruler, and other international partners.

Banknotes of the Comoros Franc are issued in denominations of 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, and 10,000 francs, while coins are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 francs. The design of the currency often features cultural and historical images related to the islands, promoting a sense of national identity.

Currency Conversion: CRC to KMF
