The Costa Rican Colón (CRC) is the official currency of Costa Rica, issued by the Banco Central de Costa Rica.
The modern series features vibrant, visually rich designs celebrating the country’s extraordinary biodiversity, national heritage, and scientific achievements.
Each denomination highlights iconic wildlife, protected ecosystems, and influential Costa Rican figures, reflecting the nation’s global reputation for environmental leadership.
Current CRC notes incorporate advanced security features, modern colour palettes, and durable materials, forming the primary legal tender used throughout Costa Rica today.
Exchanging your CRC notes is straightforward and secure.
Enter the amount you wish to exchange into your wallet and proceed with the exchange, and everything will be handled quickly and efficiently.
Before the introduction of the current enhanced‑security series, Costa Rica issued several earlier generations of Colón banknotes.
These older notes often feature different portraits, traditional layouts, and earlier security elements that have since been replaced.
Although no longer used in everyday transactions, many withdrawn Costa Rican Colón notes still retain redeemable value.
At Thecurrencycounter.co.uk, we accept a wide range of outdated and withdrawn Costa Rican Colón notes, including early paper issues, transitional designs, and denominations no longer seen in circulation.
