Change Dollars and SIMM cards at San Jose Airport Costa Rica

Off the plane, down the escalator, see two booths. Money changing and SIMM cards.

We traveled with a press tour group. Pearlman changed dollars at the booth. Not the best rate of exchange. However, the tour group never stopped for money changing at a bank.

Actually, changing dollars for colones is not necessary in Costa Rica. The US dollar is the second currency of the country. The problem is the rate of exchange. The week we traveled, the official rate offered 570 colones to the dollar. When buying with dollars, we often received only 500, almost a 9% loss.

A greater loss came from buying at the expensive markets near the hotels. The tour operator placed us in luxury hotels. We remained in the tourist bubble the entire week in Costa Rica --

--- except when we took the City Tour through San Jose. In a bus, with a guide, rushing from site to site in the city. A good introduction to the city and the people.

All decent, very often kind and generous, never objecting to this foreigner with a video camera.

Watch for more videos coming of that beautiful and environmentally progressive nation.

Costa Rica, the nation of rain forests and welcoming people.

Costa Rican Currency

What is the currency in Costa Rica and how does it equate to dollars? The Costa Rican currency exchange is very simple- Colones to Dollars. Watch more to understand how easy it is to convert US currency to Colones.

Coco Bay Estates-

Exchange rate in Costa Rica

If you plan on traveling around Costa Rica you should be familiar with the money used here- and there's a LOT of it. Check out this video to clear things up.

Currency in Costa Rica is called the 'Colon'. It was named after Christopher Columbus, and was introduced as the official currency in 1896, replacing the money used in Costa Rica before (the peso). The correct plural pronunciation is Colones. The colon comes in bills denominated in the following amounts: 10,000, 5,000, 2,000, and 1,000 colones. The coins are denominated in 500, 100, 50, 20, 10, and 5 colones. Recently, the central bank has printed gold coins in all the same denominations mentioned above, however, several of them are smaller than those presently in circulation, and therefore, do not work in any of the public machines, i.e. telephones, etc.
In Costa Rica, monetary units are very close to the countrys history and cultural facts, for example, bills have a different picture of an important character throughout Costa Ricas history:
• 1000 colones bill honors Tomas Soley, an important politician once minister of commerce in Costa Rica.
• 5000 colones bill commemorates Costa Ricas ecological resources by an impressive picture of a Tucan in its natural environment
• 10 000 colones bill portraits Emma Gamboa an important teacher of Costa Rica.
Some of the currencies of Costa Rica have slang nicknames every Tico uses to refer to them:
• Tejas is 100-colones
• Cinco tejas for 500 colónes
• Un Rojo is 1,000 colones
• Un Tucan is 5,000 colones
In Costa Rica, exchanges rates change daily. Please make sure you are aware of the current exchange rate if you decide to use dollars in your transactions while in Costa Rica, that way you can avoid getting a fake rate and lose your money.
Do not exchange your U.S. money for Costa Rican currency in the U.S. before leaving. The U.S. dollar can easily be exchanged here at a better rate. Currency from other countries can only be exchanged at the central bank in San José, and is a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong process.
