Coins
Coins comply their role as currency, value deposit, and account units. The current denomination structure consists of seven coins: 500, 100, 50, 25, and 5 colones. When placed in a vertical position one above the other, they make up a cone-like geometrical figure, as a result of the proportional difference in their diameter.
