Colón (currency)

The colón () refers to two Central American currencies, both named for Christopher Columbus (Spanish: Cristóbal Colón):

The symbol for the colón is "₡", written as a capital letter C crossed by two diagonal strokes. In Unicode, it is at code point U+20A1 COLON SIGN and may be typed on many English language Microsoft Windows keyboards with the shortcut ALT+8353.

The correct way to write colones is ₡1, with the symbol before the number. This follows the standard for most currencies.
