Yeah, I noticed. I was in ScotiaBank today and was quite surprised to see it above 500, i'm wondering if it's a short lived "sale" ;)

YO Currency hawks:

Why worry about that shit. I've seen a a crazy swing of the dollar and colone in CR for longer than most of you breathed life. It is what it is.

I just pulled out a 1901 five colone gold coin from my collection that is equivalent to our U.S. 5$ gold coin. Can we say inflation?

Just go with the flow and invest wisely.

Today I got some cash, and I received $507 colones /dollar. I think the dollar is gaining against the colon.

Here is a couple of interesting graphs - a historical perspective of the exchange rate. Ignore what it says about $100 bills USD and travelers checks.
