Security
Error
Reason
For
Delay Of
New
˘20.000
Bills
An error
in the
"security
map" on
the new
˘20.000
colones
bills is
the
reason
for the
delay in
tomorrow's
introduction
to the
market.
The
Banco
Central
said the
error
was
detected
on at
least
150
bills
and as
such
decided
to
suspend
the
distribution
that was
to have
occurred
on
August
11.
Marvin
Alvarado
of the
Banco
Central,
said the
bills
are
being
examined
to
determine
how many
have the
error.
The
bills
are
produced
by the
French
firm,
Oberthur
Technologies.
Alvarado
said
that
company
officials
immediately
came to
Costa
Rica
when the
mistake
was
noticed
and
notified
to the
manufacturer.
The
error is
small
mark
that
crossed
the Gulf
of
Nicory
on the
security
map,
that is
made
with
optical
variable
ink,
which
changes
color
depending
on the
angle it
observed.
Alvarado
said
there
was no
certainty
of when
the new
bills
will be
released.
