Exchange rates can be displayed in different ways depending on the context. There's the Costa Rican colon to pound exchange rate, and the Costa Rican colon buyback rate. The two are in fact the same; they are just displayed differently.
The Costa Rican colon to pound exchange rate corresponds to the value of one Costa Rican colon in British pounds. For example, a Costa Rican colon to pound rate of 0.0013 means one Costa Rican colon is worth 0.0013 pounds.
In contrast, the Costa Rican colon buyback rate corresponds to the amount of Costa Rican colones you'd have to exchange to get one pound. For example, a Costa Rican colon buyback rate of 750 means you'd have to exchange 750 Costa Rican colones to get one pound.
UK currency suppliers prefer to show the Costa Rican colon buyback rate instead of the Costa Rican colon to pound exchange rate, so we follow the same format in our Costa Rican colon comparisons. However, on this page, we use the Costa Rican colon to pound exchange rate since this is what the data is intended to show.
The two rates are interchangeable: to convert the Costa Rican colon buyback rate into the actual Costa Rican colon to pound rate, just divide 1 by the Costa Rican colon buyback rate, e.g.: 1 / 750 = 0.0013.
