The value of the CRC was originally marked to the USD on what is called a floating peg. Where the value of the CRC was literally pegged to an incrementally lower value to the USD each month. This was continued until 2006 when the USD began to be devalued itself worldwide, a situation that in turn devalued the CRC by too much each month. As a result, the CRC was un-pegged from the USD in 2006 and given a fixed trading range that it is allowed to float within relative to the USD.
The Central Bank of Costa Rica issues coins in 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 500 colónes denominations and banknotes in 1000, 2000, 5000, 10,000, 20,000, and 50,000 colónes denominations. In 2010 all previously printed Costa Rican currency was abandoned and replaced by the new currency. The new currency features security enhancements and each note is a different length in order to assist those with disabilities in differentiating note denominations.
Slang names for the CRC are common in transactions. One cañas is the same as one colónes and this slang is used for colónes notes under 100 colónes. The "teja" is the same as 100 colónes therefore 5 tejas is the same as 500 colónes. The ₡ 500 is called the morado, the ₡ 1000 is called the "un rojo", the ₡ 5000 is called the "tucan" and the ₡ 10000 is known as the Ema Gamboa. These names are oftentimes used to confuse tourists, thus learning them is valuable in everyday transactions.
