One of the biggest problems you don't mention is if the US bill has the slightest tear or imperfection they will refuse to take it I had about $500 on my last trip that nobody would take Restaurants, Casinos and banks all turned them down I was stranded there for about 3 days without usable US bills Always bring new bills straight from the Federal Reserve when you come down Comment from : Thomas Sabol |

The best method for me was simply to withdraw from ATMs I was charged about 1 for each transaction for withdrawing in colones I would recommend NOT using credit cards, as you'll find foreign transaction fees approaching 16 And the airport bwill/b rip you off, typically charging around 20 Literally only about 20 feet away from my go-to exchange optionbrbrBy the way, the currency has dropped in value a little since this video was made It's currently (July 2018) at about 565 colones to the dollar Comment from : phoenixshade3 |

|
I remember having an exceptionally hard time breaking a hundred in Costa Rica, so when I went to the Philippines I made sure to take nothing larger than a $20 Turned out to be a mistake because they actually want big bills there and actually give a better exchange rate Comment from : Lj Garner |
|
Thanks for the video, Best of luck against Holland!! Comment from : Daniel Cronin |
|
money looks pretty close to ours in Canada Comment from : Chance Beauclair |
|
I love that you can use the US currency and get the proper change back When ever I leave the country I have to worry about having money exchanged right away and it can be a hassle at times England was easy for me though, the ATM charge is shockingly cheap on that But just landing and using your cash right away is wonderful Comment from : Brooklyn Street Smart |

Will the sim card station in the airport take US Money? Comment from : agent00immpression |
|
Arriving for the first time next Monday I plan to go upstairs at the airport on arrival and go to the BAC bank in the departure level, as I was told they have a good exchange rate Plus I will need small colones for the bus that I probably won't be able to get out of an ATM Comment from : Eric Manchester |

What about ATMs? That is what I usually do and it seems to work fine Comment from : Nick B |

It is great for bus fares too (: When I was in Costa Rica I payed about 250 colones for bus fare (: Comment from : Annamarie |
|
Thanks guys
A word to the wise Make sure your money ( USD or Colones) IS broken down into smaller denominations If you give a vendor a 20 mil for a 4 dollar item and they give you 10 mill back in change What are you going to do about it? Are you going to fight or yell at them? Call the cops? Same yourself a lot of pain and suffer from the theft of your money and always have lower denomination currency EX 1000 colone bills, 2mil, 5mil, 10mil I got short changed in CR Great lesson for me Comment from : Dave S |
|
Great advice guys I just sent you an email Comment from : lito Arnold |
|
You guys always give good info Comment from : remoney |
|
If you want colones, another good place to get them is at an ATM The fees and exchange rate weren't bad You can spend any extra colones at the airport when you pay your exit tax $26 per person One other thing I noticed is that when negotiating with a vendor, they assume people from the US are going to pay in dollars If you pay in colones assuming 500 per dollar, they charge you a little bit more Comment from : LyonsMark |
|
Thanx fellas, you guys give good tips, hey me and wifey are definitely gonna have you guys setup our vacay very soon, you guys will definitely get our business out therekeep it cool, peace Comment from : VEINDEMNTION |
|
Definitely want to highlight about bringing $50 and $100 US Billsbring $20 bills and under! :-)
Another thing to add is that they will not exchange the COINS back to US$ at the exchange places in US so make sure to use all of your coins before you leave CR What I recommend is for people to use the last remaining CR money they have when they pay the EXIT tax at the airportyou can pay part colones & part US or use it up at the airport
Another great video guys!!! Comment from : Villa Hermosa |
