| Post subject: | Dollar vs. the Colon |
There is good and bad news about the dollar vs. the colon. I exchanged $100 for colones at the Colonial casino (always the best rate). I was given 50,500 col. The bad news is that means that the dollar has really taken a dive. The good news is that the mathmatically chalanged will find it easy to figure out how much things cost. (just multiply by two..... 10,000 col = $20) |

Hi, I still have 60k Colon from my last trip, old and not in good shape. I read, they are comming out with new money - how long is the "Old money" good. I am planning to visit CR, but you never know!! Maybe this year or next year! Duessel |

Beat up local currency does not present a problem to the locals. Anything less than mint in US currency DOES. |

Will the Colonial Casino exchange money for you if you're not gambling there? A few months back they wouldn't. |

I think you must be a guess or gambling there...but I could be wrong. |

To the best of my knowledge,the Colonial will change up to $200 for colones without any questions for anyone. If you change 50s or hundreds they will call over a pitboss to check the bills. Their rate has as far as I know, is equal to the banks. |

The new Bills 20,000 and 50,000 are supposed to be out next month. I have already seen signs up the they won't be accepted. Most places now don't like to change 10,000 bills |
