Costa Rica is a Hispanic Central American Republic. It is also one of the few countries in the world to have completely abolished its military. Its capital is San José. Although it still maintains a large agricultural sector, Costa Rica has expanded its economy to include strong technological and tourist industries. The standard of living is relatively high, and land ownership is widespread.
Costa Rican Coins
Costa Rica's currency is that of the colon, and the plural is colones. The sub unit is the céntimo.
