sitting here bored and was reading a few posts about how fast some of the chicas can convert dollars to colones and vice versa. It's actually very easy, I know people have there own ways but this is 2 easy steps.

From colones to dollars double the colone amount and drop 3 zeros

Ie: 30,000 colones, double it 60,000 colones, drop 3 zeroes $60

42,000 colones, double it 84,000 colones, drop 3 zeros $84

Reverse it to switch it back

Ie: $60 add 3 zeros, 60,000 colones, divide in half 30,000 colones


etc etc

Sorry, too many years dealing roulette and craps kicked in...you spend your downtime thinking of keys to figure out payouts when you are bored :roll:

Hope this helps!

FYI This is based on 500 per dollar but any amount around there will get you very close

That is actually the system most of us who live here use. It will work for the next few months as long as the colones is hovering at about 500 to $1.00

Check out this conversion sheet. You can print some and carry them with you:

http://www.oanda.com/convert/cheatsheet ... D&result=1

Go to this site:

http://www.oanda.com/convert/classic

highlight Costa Rican Colognes in first currency list and US Dollars in the second. Enter the amount of 500 Colognes(convert amount) and click Convert Now. Then, on the new page, click the link on the upper right of the page that says Currency Cheatsheet for Costa Rican Cologne and US Dollar. If you like it dollars to colognes better you can click ReverseFXCheatSheet.

It's a handy little reference to have in your pocket.
