Costa Ricans use Colones as their currency. Let me just tell you that I had the hardest time using Colones! We were laughing, but it's true, Americans can't count that high! Our dollar equals about 585 Colones. Imagine purchasing something for 13, 500 Colones! What the hell? Who can count that high? When I was alone and couldn't figure out how much to pay, I'd just give them money and let them figure it out. For all I know I could have been hustled out of money! Lessons learned.....learn how to count in the thousands!
