What is Costa Rica Colon (CRC)
The Costa Rican colon (CRC) is the official currency of Costa Rica, a beautiful country known for its rich biodiversity and vibrant culture. The name "colon" comes from Christopher Columbus, known as "Cristóbal Colón" in Spanish. The colon was first introduced in 1896, replacing the Costa Rican peso at a rate of 1 colon to 10 pesos. Each colon is subdivided into 100 céntimos.
The currency is issued in both coins and banknotes. Coins come in denominations of 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, and 500 colones, while banknotes are available in 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000, and 100,000 colones. The Central Bank of Costa Rica is responsible for issuing and regulating the currency, ensuring that it remains stable and trusted by the public.
The exchange rate of the colon can fluctuate based on various economic factors, including inflation, interest rates, and trade balances. When converting colones to other currencies, it’s essential to stay updated on the current rates to make informed decisions.

The "nuevo sol" was introduced in July 1991, replacing the previous currency, the Peruvian intí, at a conversion rate of 1 nuevo sol to 1,000 intís. The name "sol" pays homage to the historical silver currency used in Peru before the Spanish conquest.
Similar to the colon, the nuevo sol is subdivided into 100 céntimos and features both coins and banknotes. Coins are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 céntimos, as well as 1, 2, and 5 nuevos soles. Banknotes come in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 nuevos soles. The Central Reserve Bank of Peru manages the issuance and circulation of the currency.
The nuevo sol's value can also change due to economic conditions, and understanding its exchange rate is crucial for those looking to convert colones into soles.
