The '''Creeperian colón''' (symbol: '''₡'''; code: '''CLN'''; also abbreviated: '''CLN₡'''; [[Creeperian language|Creeperian]] – [[Creeperian script|Creeperian]]: Ծոլօն Ծրեեպերիանո; Creeperian – [[Iberic script|Iberic]]: ''colón Creeperiano'';{{efn|name="pronunciation"|{{small|Creeperian pronunciation:}} {{color|#122080|[koˈlon kre.pe.ɾiˈa.no]}}.}} 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 [[Hyperinflation in Creeperopolis|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]] [[Voyages of 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 of Creeperopolis|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 ({{frac|1|100}}) of a Colón

=== Etymology ===

The colón is named after Admiral [[Cristóbal Colón Cámarillo|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]].
