The turmoil and conflict raging next door, not touched the peaceful Costa Rica.
In 1897, the state has replaced the Costa Rican peso to the colón equals 100 centimos. However centimos has long been devalued, so coin catalog today Costa Rica has only columns with values of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 500.
