In addition to all the dis-advantages of using dollars mentioned earlier I found one more great advantage of using colones.

Many of the chicas I negotiated with were using an exchange rate of $1 = 500 colones.

So when a girl asked me for $80 and I went to an ATM and withdrew $80 in colonies at the official rate of $1 = 550 colonies I got 44,000 colonies.

After the deed I gave her 40,000 colonies and she was happy. I then gave her the 4000c as a tip and she was radiant.
