The Creeperian colón (symbol: ₡; code: CLN; also abbreviated: CLN₡; Creeperian – Creeperian: Ծոլօն Ծրեեպերիանո; Creeperian – Iberic: colón Creeperiano;[a] plural: colónes) is the official currency of Creeperopolis. It is also unofficially used by El Salvador, Sequoyah, and the State of the Church. The Colón was introduced on 17 July 2003 after the Creeperian Dollar was abolished following severe hyperinflation.
The colón is subdivided into 100 centavos, its ISO 4217 code is CLN, and its ISO 4217 number is 1381, symbolically after the year Admiral Cristóbal Colón Cámarillo discovered the San Carlos Islands, whom the currently is named after. The currency is fiat money and is not backup up by gold or any other material.
Overview
Legality
The Ministry of the Treasury de facto has the responsibility of minting and issuing the Colón, which it does through the National Mint of Creeperopolis and Central Reserve Bank of Creeperopolis, respectively.
Decimal units
The colón only has one official decimal unit:
- Centavo (Ծենտավո) (¢): worth one one-hundredth (1⁄100) of a Colón
Etymology
The colón is named after Admiral Cristóbal Carlos Colón y Cámarillo. He was chosen as the namesake of the currency by the Romerist Military Junta because of his importance in Creeperian history and because he has sometimes been associated with establishing the economy of the San Carlos Islands, which has since become one of the strongest in Creeperopolis.
