No, you'll get more for your Costa Rican colones if you sell when the Costa Rican colon buyback rate is low. This is due to a quirk of how British currency providers display their buyback exchange rates.
When you buy Costa Rican colones, the exchange rate you get is the amount of Costa Rican colones you'll receive for every pound that you spend, so for example a rate of 698.957 means you'd get ₡698.957 for each £1 that you spend. You can calculate the total amount of Costa Rican colones you'd receive for a given amount of sterling by simply multiplying the sterling amount by the exchange rate.
When it comes to selling Costa Rican colones, the buyback rate is expressed in terms of how many Costa Rican colones you'd need to sell in order to get £1, so a buyback rate of 698.957 means you'd need to sell ₡698.957 to get £1. To calculate the sterling value of a given amount of Costa Rican colones, you need to divide the Costa Rican colon amount by the buyback rate. Since you're dividing by the buyback rate, a lower buyback rate means you'd get more sterling compared to a higher buyback rate.
There are two sets of euro banknotes in circulation: the original first series which was introduced in 2002, and the second 'Europa' series which was introduced in 2013. Both are legal tender, but banknotes from the first series are gradually being phased out and replaced by the newer Europa notes. You don't need to know which banknote series you have as the older notes are worth the same as their newer equivalents.
On 27 January 2019, the European Central Bank stopped issuing new €500 notes. Existing €500 notes are still in circulation and remain legal tender, but they are not widely accepted and can be difficult to exchange. Some currency suppliers in the UK will still buy €500 notes but you'll usually have to pay a premium of around 2-3% to cover the cost of the added checks that need to be performed.
