Colon Currency

Is it the U.S. Dollar or the El Salvadorian Colon?

our national currency USED to be the colon, but some years back we adopted the USD.

Price: $20.75 $13.33

I am particularly interested in US$ to Costa Rican colones. I can find the Yahoo! Finance converter page, but cannot find an RSS feed so that I can see the currency converter on my MyYahoo! page.

If you sign up with iGoogle, they have one listed when you search for one

I have some foreign currency that I am trying to find the value to and wanna know where I can get it turned in for its U.S. currency value. Here is the following currency I have:
5 colones
1 Lempira
2 Lempira
5 Lempira
10 Dinar (Yugoslavic)
100 Dinar (Yugoslavic)
1000 Dinar (Yugoslavic)
20 Kuna
5 Mark
20 Koruna
10 Koruna
5 Koruna

Well you have a handful of nothing really if I take a quick glance

5 colones - which colon's? 5 Costa Rican colons = $0.008665 and 5 El Salvadorian colons = $0.58253
8 Lempira = $0.26950
1110 Dinars - well this currency is no longer in circulation and indeed it depends on which year these notes were produced as to their worth because there have been currency devaluations You can read here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugoslav_di nar All banknotes dated 1994 or earlier are demonetized and no longer legal tender.
20 Kunas = $0.98202
5 Marks = which mark do you mean? The old German Deutschmark or Finnish Mark? The current Bosnian convertable mark? or one of the others http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_%28mon ey%29
35 Korunas - again, which do you mean? Czechoslovak koruna? Hungarian korona? Slovak koruna?

I think you need to look closely to find out exactly what you are holding.

For currencies in circulation you can check the approx conversation rate to US dollars here http://www.oanda.com/convert/classic

This of course is assuming that a bank will even exchange it, because many have minimum quantities on foreign exchanges, plus also may not exchange coins or low denomination notes at all.

Your best bet is to ask at your local bank branch where you hold an account, and if not then check on Ebay to sell them (often these kind of things are sold and you can get an idea of their worth from other lots)

However, don't expect to be holding a small fortune there as you will be bitterly disappointed otherwise :0)

(This is the second time I have asked this question. The first one was cenxsored by Yaxhoo)

We are inching towards it with the G20's activation of SDRs as currency, and with Congress recent approval of $100 billion for the IMF to kick-start that process. The international call to replace the dollar as reserve currency is getting louder.

What will happen to our quality of life once the world stops investing in dollars?

Some reading that may help you answer the question. It reports on the recent news the media under-reported about China's call to replace the dollar as Reserve Currency.

To read the story remove the spaces from the link, replace "colon" with :, replace slash with /, replace dot with . then paste into browser.

There are some independent media web sites and blogs that the elite owners of the media do not want you reading, and that seems to be one of them.

I thought we still had some time since the Amero isn't really on the market yet and I thought tht would be next. B ut things may be moving too slowly for the Elite so perhaps you're right and the Amero will be forgotten.

So you're talking the Mark of the Beast ... so to speak.

Scary stuff.

And if we refuse we won't be able to buy or sell anything ... interesting.

Perhaps I'll be lucky and die before that day. Otherwise I'll just have to deal with it when it comes along.

Actually after my heart surgery a couple of years ago I would be highly surprised if they have not already planted something. perhaps that's why I keep repeating ... the govt is our friend ... Hail Socialism.
And so on.

There's always Rapture!
