Col n currency

The colón is the currency of two Central American nations:

• Costa Rica (ISO 4217 three-letter currency code: CRC)
• El Salvador (ISO 4217: SVC) – since 2001 used in parallel with the United States dollar; see dollarization.

The Costa Rican colón is divided into 100 céntimos; the Salvadoran colon is divided into 100 centavos.

The Spanish-language plural form is colones, but most English speakers user the simpler plural colons.
