The 500 colon bill has been phased out and replaced with a coin. I think you can still exchange them in banks but they are no longer accepted anywhere else. Hold on to the 50 colon bill, that has got to be a collectors' item by now. The 1000 and 5000 are still in use. |

YO Currency Cocks: Speaking of CR Bills. I really hated it when they replaced the 500 c bill with the 500 coin. It is so much like the 100 coin that in not well lighted and haste situations I am always giving out the 500 coin when I think I'm giving 100 colone coins. One time I mistakingly gave four of them as a taxi fare. Hell, I've tried separate pockets, whatever but still do it. Just a note: I have bought CR gold coins on some trips and it's interesting to look at a 1898 5 colone (same size as our US $5 gold coin) and am reminded to the inflation since then......about 100 times the 1898 face value. |

The original 500c coin that replaced the bill was so similar to the 100c that it was soon replaced by a larger one. Interestingly, the original 500c coin is no longer accepted. If you have some, you can go wait at a line at a bank to convert them. I just gave mine away to people who looked more likely to wait in a bank line. |
