Costs, Money and Banks
Since January 1, 2001, El Salvador has operated a dual-currency economy, with both the local currency, the colon (often called the peso), and the US dollar recognized as legal tender for all transactions. The colon, however, is slowly being withdrawn from circulation, and the dollar will become the sole unit of currency from 2003. The colon is divided into 100 centavos. There are coins of 5c, 10c, 25c and 1 colon, and bank notes of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200 colones. All US dollar notes and coins are now in free circulation
