It is commonly referred to in its plural form, colones and identified by the currency symbol&nbsp;\u20a1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dollars are widely accepted across the country and are often the preferred method of payment at many tourist establishments. This is due to the periodic inflation of the dollar\u2019s value. As a rule of thumb, it\u2019s always best to carry a small amount of both currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>European Euro and Canadian Dollars are not accepted as payment in Costa Rica. However, virtually all banks will exchange them for the local currency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s best to exchange your money to Costa Rica colones at a local bank. Money exchange houses, hotels, and restaurants are likely to give you a devalued exchange rate while banks are required by law to give the daily rate established by the Central Bank of Costa Rica \u2013 the same goes for exchanging the Costa Rica currency to USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This dollar-to-colones conversion is consistent nationwide, ensuring your money retains the same value whether you&#8217;re in San Jos\u00e9, Puerto Viejo, or using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adobecar.com\/en\/rental-car-libera-costa-rica\/\">Liberia Costa Rica Car Rental<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s unnecessary to have your home bank give you colones before you arrive in Costa Rica. It\u2019s a good idea, however, to travel with U.S. dollars if possible. And make sure that the bills are in good condition. All Costa Rican banks and businesses do not accept damaged or torn paper money. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-history-of-the-colon-what-does-christopher-columbus-have-to-do-with-it\"><strong>History of the Col\u00f3n \u2013 What does Christopher Columbus have to do with it?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Costa Rica\u2019s currency earned its name from the Spanish explorer Cristobal Col\u00f3n (<em>Christopher Columbus<\/em>&nbsp;in English) who was the first European to discover the region in 1502. The arrival of the Costa Rica col\u00f3n in 1896 replaced the Spanish Colonial currency of&nbsp;<em>pesos<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>c\u00e9ntimos<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By 1914 the International Bank was the official institution issuing colones, which in turn became the National Bank of Costa Rica<em>&nbsp;(Banco Nacional).<\/em>&nbsp;In the 1950s the Central Bank of Costa Rica was founded and has since been the only authorised entity to issue currency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, there is a wide range of coins and bills to pay with. The most common being coins and the 1,000 colones, 5,000 colones, 10,000 colones, and 20,000 colones notes, in addition to 50,000 colones denominations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-best-currency-to-use-in-costa-rica-can-i-pay-with-a-credit-card-or-debit-card\"><strong>What is the best currency to use in Costa Rica? Can I pay with a Credit Card or Debit Card?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Deciding what currency to use in Costa Rica is relative. Some businesses will ask a high col\u00f3n price in order to get a better dollar value and vice versa. Most reputable businesses will honor the official exchange rate. However, having both types will generally ensure you can choose how to pay the best price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For these reasons, it\u2019s a good idea to come prepared. Traveling with colones, dollars, and a major credit card or debit card is a great idea. This way you can choose which payment method best suits each particular circumstance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"865\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adobecar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bills-billetes-colon-colones-costa-rica-865x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Costa Rican Currency Bills and Coins\" class=\"wp-image-36511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adobecar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bills-billetes-colon-colones-costa-rica-865x1024.jpg 865w, https:\/\/www.adobecar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bills-billetes-colon-colones-costa-rica-600x710.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.adobecar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bills-billetes-colon-colones-costa-rica-254x300.jpg 254w, https:\/\/www.adobecar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bills-billetes-colon-colones-costa-rica-768x909.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adobecar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bills-billetes-colon-colones-costa-rica-150x178.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.adobecar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bills-billetes-colon-colones-costa-rica.jpg 1014w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 865px) 100vw, 865px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Costa Rican Currency Bills and Coins<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"caption-attachment-8675\">Costa Rican Currency Bills and Coins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, some restaurants, tours, and hotels set their prices in U.S. Dollars, and some ask for colones. In these cases, it\u2019s best to pay with the currency they quote on their price list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to a\u00a0<em>credit cards vs. debit cards vs. cash decision,<\/em>\u00a0the answer is again relative. Many credit card companies offer international incentives such as no additional fees for overseas transactions. This is a great option when you\u2019re paying for more costly items like hotel rooms, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adobecar.com\/en\/rental-car-san-jose-costa-rica\/\">rental cars in San Jose<\/a>, and in-country flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"824\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adobecar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/coins-monedas-colones-costa-rica-824x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Costa Rican Currency Bills and Coins\" class=\"wp-image-36515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adobecar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/coins-monedas-colones-costa-rica-824x1024.jpg 824w, https:\/\/www.adobecar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/coins-monedas-colones-costa-rica-600x745.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.adobecar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/coins-monedas-colones-costa-rica-242x300.jpg 242w, https:\/\/www.adobecar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/coins-monedas-colones-costa-rica-768x954.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adobecar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/coins-monedas-colones-costa-rica-150x186.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.adobecar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/coins-monedas-colones-costa-rica.jpg 966w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 824px) 100vw, 824px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-renting-a-car-cash-or-credit\"><strong>Renting a Car \u2013 Cash or Credit?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re planning on renting a car you will need a major credit card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adobe Rent a Car requires that clients pay a $1,000 damage deposit when renting a vehicle. This deposit is an extra guarantee that protects both the client and Adobe in case damages or fines are incurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When no fees are incurred, the full damage deposit will be refunded to the client\u2019s account within 72 hours to one week. Any fee deductions that are incurred may take longer to process. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many major credit card companies (Visa, Mastercard, Discover or Amex) often offer collision damage coverage (CDW) for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adobecar.com\/en\/\">car rentals in Costa Rica<\/a>. This saves the renter considerable money. Adobe Rent a Car will accept the credit card company\u2019s CDW as long as the client has a letter from the card provider stating that the coverage is current and valid in Costa Rica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-atm-machines-and-atm-fees\"><strong>ATM Machines and ATM Fees<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just about every town, no matter how small, will have at least one ATM machine. Unfortunately, this doesn\u2019t guarantee that it will be working \u2013 or that it will accept your home bank\u2019s debit card. It\u2019s best to carry a major credit card or debit card from a well-known bank. Expect a service charge when you use an ATM in Costa Rica as well. Anywhere from $1 to $5 dollars is normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer withdrawing cash from your card as you travel, try to cover the following bases so that you\u2019re not stranded penniless if it doesn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use a major credit card or debit card with international coverage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Notify your bank ahead of time that you\u2019ll be traveling so your card isn\u2019t blocked as stolen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t forget your Pin number. And keep a record of the number in an accessible place in case you forget.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t wait until you\u2019re cashless. Always have enough backup colones or dollars to cover your expenses until you can get to a bank.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Travel with enough money to get by; but not too much that you may become a target for theft.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-costa-rica-currency-exchange-rate\"><strong>The Costa Rica Currency Exchange Rate<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The current 2019 national exchange rate for dollars to colones vacillates around&nbsp;\u20a1600&nbsp;per $1 USD. If you\u2019re exchanging money anywhere outside of an official bank, you\u2019re more likely to get an exchange of 500 colones per $1 USD. There are many currency conversion and currency converter apps online for those interested in following the exact daily rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Major grocery stores and other reputable business such as Adobe Rent a Car guarantee the official daily rate \u2013 so you can rest assured that you\u2019re getting your dollars worth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tipping-restaurants-guards-and-tour-guides\"><strong>Tipping \u2013 Restaurants, Guards, and Tour Guides<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tipping is not obligatory in Costa Rica. The only exception is a 10% service charge that is included in the bill at virtually all restaurants. Most tourist-frequented establishments are also accustomed to receiving additional tips from their international clients; however, it\u2019s not 100% necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Informal guards who watch your car on the street are usually working for tips alone. A few hundred colones (\u20a1500 &nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;\u20a11,000) is usually a good tip for a couple of hours. Tour guides, on the other hand, earn a regular salary but it\u2019s usually low. So, if you enjoyed your tour and the quality of service provided by your guide then leaving a tip is appropriate. &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The official currency in Costa Rica is the Col\u00f3n.
