i think you missed my meaning about paper money value; i was referring to the actually most worthless paper bill (not coin) in circulation in dollar terms, not the exchange rate itself; last time i was in CR (april) i didnt see anything lower than 500 colones in paper, it appears the 100's are all removed now. that is about a dollar fifty, far more than the 20 cents the 5peso urg. note is worth.
I did miss the last sucre days in ecuador by just a few days; some entrepreneureal folks apparently bought up the remaining UNC 10, 50, and 100 sucre notes in bank packs and resell them at the equivalent of 25000 sucres (1 dollar) in parks to tourists...
