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. |

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 |
