For many years, the largest currency denomination in Costa Rica was the 10,000 colon bank note (billete). At today�s�exchange�rate, that is a bit over $18.00. �Thus, carrying just the equivalent of $1,000 required you to carry FIFTY-FIVE �10,000 colon notes� quite �a wad.
That will soon change as the Costa Rica Central Bank, Banco Central de Costa Rica, does a complete do-over of the country�s national currency.
Changes to all bills (including the existing currency!) are drastic. Changes will include not only the standard anti-counterfeiting�techniques�standard on the Euro and the new US bank notes, but also two new denominations; the 20,000 and 50,000 colon bills. That is a Godsend! �Additionally, �the new bills will come in different widths� from 125 mm to 160 mm� truly�important�for the visually challenged.
If this topic�interests�you and you would like a peek at the new bills, read on!
First, the new bills are quite beautiful! All sport vivid new colors and designs, the requisite�famous�historical�person,�and now, some of the flora and fauna of Costa Rica.
Below are the new bills, front and back. �The front of the 2,000 colon note is under redesign and the one shown may have slight variations when actually produced.
