About Costa Rican Colon (₡)
The Costa Rican Colón (CRC, ISO 4217 code 188, symbol ₡) is the official currency of the Republic of Costa Rica — named after Christopher Columbus (Cristóbal Colón in Spanish).

Banknotes: ₡1,000, ₡2,000, ₡5,000, ₡10,000, ₡20,000, ₡50,000 (the highest denomination, introduced 2011; current 'Familia G' series features Costa Rican biodiversity and cultural figures — a sloth on ₡5,000, a hummingbird on ₡10,000, butterflies on ₡20,000, a deer on ₡50,000, and historical figures including Braulio Carrillo, Jose Maria Castro Madriz, Mauro Fernandez Acuna, Alfredo Gonzalez Flores, Ricardo Jimenez Oreamuno); coins: ₡5, ₡10, ₡25, ₡50, ₡100, ₡500. Costa Rica is one of Central America's most-developed economies (~$77B GDP, ~5 million population) and is famous for abolishing its military in 1948 (the only country in Central America without a standing army).
