Answer 1

The currency is the colon (plural colones).  $1 US buys roughly 500 colones.

The clothing I bought in CR were all foreign cast offs (which is very common.  They  have thrift shops that deal in foreign returns.  In the shop that I went to there were clothes that still had tags in dollars, yen, won, and currency I couldn't identify.)

Answer 2

Answer 3

The currency is colones and I don't know the rest.  I looked at tshirts and they were s,m,l,xl etc but these are for tourists.

Answer 4

The currency in Costa Rica is called the colon...there are about 505 colons in one U.S. dollar.  That means that about 5 colons are worth one U.S. penny.  See  site below for cuurnecy exchange info.  I could not find any info on clothing sizes.  Hope you hear from someone with firsthand knowledge about that.
