The colon replaced the Costa Rican pes...o and was parity with the US dollar at 2.15:1. The Costa Rican colón was adopted as the national currency in 1896, about 70 years after Costa Rica and its Central American neighbors declared independence from Spain. Colón replaced the Costa Rican peso with a one-to-one exchange rate. The former currency of the peso, a legacy of the colonial era, was divided into eight Spanish reais.

History reference:
The state monetary unit of Hungary is the Hungarian Forint (Hungarian Forint, international code - HUF). Used since 1946, before that the pengő was used as the Hungarian currency, which could not su...rvive the largest hyperinflation in history. Previously, forints had small change coins - fillers, but now they are out of circulation. When the Hungarian National Bank first issued the new currency, banknotes denoting 10 and 100 forints entered circulation. Each forint was subdivided into 100 fillers. Until 1991, following the inflationary processes, the National Bank expanded the available set of banknotes by issuing banknotes with a higher denomination. Later, it was decided to revise the design of the currency, and since 2001, on each banknote, on the one hand, a Hungarian statesman is depicted, and on the other, an event associated with his activities. It should be noted that there are no watermarks on the forints. Protection against counterfeiters is provided, first of all, by a holographic strip.
