About British Pound Sterling
The British Pound Sterling (GBP), symbolised by the pound sign "£", is the world's oldest currency still in use, with roots dating to Anglo-Saxon England in the 8th century. It is the fourth most traded currency in global forex markets and the third largest reserve currency after the US Dollar and Euro. The Bank of England, established in 1694, is the world's second oldest central bank and manages UK monetary policy. The pound is divided into 100 pence.

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.
