The Costa Rican Colón (named after Admiral Christopher Columbus) is the official currency in Costa Rica. During the colonial era, Spanish currency circulated and from Costa Rican independence in 1821, the usual currency was first the real and then the peso. Starting in 1896, the “Gold Heel” law was enacted, establishing the colón as a monetary unit, replacing the peso. In 1950 the Central Bank of Costa Rica was established, and from 1951. Between 1995 and 1998, the coin’s introduction started with 1, 5 and 10, 25, 50 and 100 colón coins, followed by the 500 colones coin issued in 2003.
