Last time I was there they took US money everywhere. So don’t bother changing it. embeddeddog

Every Bank I went to there had ATM’s and they would accept either currency everywhere. But be prepared for long waits at the banks, they rush for no one. quik66gto

Do it in C.R., daily…it’s fairly easy, and you DO NOT want to carry large amounts of cash. Lots of theft there. Greg H

Dont bother exchanging it… you will just waste your money.
DO NOT take anything over a $20 bill… and your US dollars will be accepted everywhere, at a good exchange rate. Change will be given in calones.
Have a great time! I cant wait til my next trip next summer. Mike

Some of the ATM’s are a pain to use. Sometimes they don’t work right, or have huge lines. I usually change a small amount of money at the hotel as I leave each morning and take one credit card with me. If you are not good at quick math, I would exchange money or use the card, because you run the risk of getting hustled on the exchange rate for your change. The math is not bad though. Its about $5 = 10,000 colones.
Also, make sure you don’t wear any jewelry out around the city, and if you can help it, don’t use a wallet or purse. Crime is not that bad in most parts, but better to be safe than sorry. SubNRG
