Gene & John, FYI the monetary unit used is Costa Rica is not the colon, not cojones, or the peso. It's the colone' or the plural, colones! The C is placed in front of the numbers, i.e. C1,000. I'm not sure, but there is also a Gran Casino, Lina in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. They use Dominican pesos which are signified by DR on their money & chips. NOW PAY ATTENTION! There will be a test & no, it's not an open book one!
