The basic currency in Costa Rica is called the colon. The plural form of the name is colones. The name honors Christopher Columbus, whose name in Spanish is rendered as Cristobal Colon. There are 100 centimos in one colon. The colon was introduced in 1896, replacing the Costa Rican Peso.

American dollars are accepted in some locations.
