Post subject:  Prices (Colones)

Hello CRT Members,

I was wondering about the prices in Costa Rics. I know the currency is Colones. They come in 5, 100, 1000, etc. But, my question is what can you buy for 5 colons, 100 colones, etc. You know in dollars $5 can buy you a value meal from McDonald's. The exchange rate is 1=465 currently. What can I buy for 500 Colones for my $1.

Colones come in coins 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100 & 500. The 5, 10 & 20 come in both silver (larger Size) and gold color. The 25, 50, 100 & 500 come in gold color only.

The bills 1000, 2000, 5000 & 10000 denominations.

The official bank buy rate today is 464.49 you will get about 460 at most shops.

Lmoe75,

The current exchange rate is 463 colones to 1 dollar.

As you can see not much you can buy with 10 colones.

You can buy small candies at any "pulperia" for 25 to a 100 colones.

Bus rides range between 100 to 200 in the city.

and other examples were given by other members.

my two cents

Mente
