Opmerkingen

Costa Rica's shift to polymer for its higher-denomination notes came gradually, and the 20,000 Colón value arrived in polymer after the lower denominations had already proven the format's durability in the country's humid tropical climate — a practical argument that drove the transition more than any aesthetic one. Oberthur Fiduciaire, now part of IDEMIA, handled the production, one of their more significant Latin American contracts during that period.

The transparent window is integrated into the polymer substrate itself rather than applied as a separate patch, a distinction that matters for authentication.
