<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 452548, member: 4626&quot;]It&#039;s my favorite of all the banknotes they currently circulate... love the colorful jungle scene on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 2000 colones note is nice too... seriously considering replacing my rather worn one with an uncirculated version in my next batch of notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 10,000 is somewhat underwhelming IMO... nice volcano scenes on the front but arranged as if they&#039;re a stack of postcards!&nbsp; They should blow one of them up to the full size of the note and make that the reverse at least.&nbsp; Passing on that one (not worth the about $40 it goes for these days IMO.)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Um, fat chance of that lol...</p><p><br /></p><p>Is some story behind that bill apparently; in some Polynesian folk story Ina (woman on the note) is trying to get a ride across the ocean for some reason... convinces a shark to give her a ride.&nbsp; She gets thirsty, so plans to drink the coconut milk out of a coconut she brought with her (no idea how she holds a coconut and holds onto the shark, as she obviously doesn&#039;t have any pockets lol...).&nbsp; To crack it open, she bangs the coconut on the shark&#039;s head... the shark then dumps her off and swims away.&nbsp; Moral of the story: when someone&#039;s giving you a ride, don&#039;t hit them on the head![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
