About Costa Rican Colon
The Costa Rican Colon (CRC) is the official currency of Costa Rica, named after Christopher Columbus (Cristobal Colon in Spanish) who arrived on the coast of Costa Rica in 1502. Introduced in 1896, it replaced the Costa Rican peso. The Banco Central de Costa Rica manages monetary policy. Costa Rica is notable in Latin America for its stable democracy, high standard of living, and strong eco-tourism and technology sectors. The colon is divided into 100 centimos, though low-value centimo coins are rarely used.
