In addition, they practiced hunting, fishing and gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this period, in Mesoamerica and the Andes, commercial activity was very important and very beneficial for these societies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, the exchange of goods and products allowed the development of the economy and agriculture and cultural and social integration between different peoples. Moreover, it allowed economic and productive diversification, the creation of commercial networks and the circulation of ideas and knowledge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, in the pre-Columbian period the method of &#8220;payment&#8221; was a barter of products. Here the goods were produced for the family (it was a family agrarian economy), so it was not necessary to work to pay for them, because they were already for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later, with the emergence of the cacicazgos, these peoples had to pay tribute to their protector through the products they harvested. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Colonial Times And Viceroyalty Society<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/virreinato.png\" alt=\"How was payment made in ancient times?

The Spaniards were to protect the natives and &#8220;educate&#8221; them. In contribution, the natives were to pay for these &#8220;favors&#8221; in the form of labor, gold or other products. These were called tributes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is how the method of western payment in Costa Rica emerged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tax system was maintained throughout most of the viceroyalty. During this period, payment had to be made with the Spanish currency, that is, the Real. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, taxes were levied on the consumption and labor fronts. There were taxes on the Indians, the rent on aguardiente, tithes, the King&#8217;s fifth, etc. There were direct taxes, impersonal taxes and real direct taxes on patrimony. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Post-Colonial Period And The Costa Rican Col\u00f3n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"517\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Costa_Rica_1897_20_Colones_proof-1024x517.jpg\" alt=\"How was payment made in ancient times?

However, there is the hypothesis of a mint from Cartago, the remains of which were left in poor condition at the Mint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/en\/in-search-of-an-identity-costa-rica-after-independence\/\">independence<\/a>, Costa Rica continued to use the currency of the Spanish system as a form of payment: the Spanish Real. But, upon becoming an independent country, the need to manufacture its own currency was born. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the first Costa Rican Mint was created in 1828, with its headquarters in San Jos\u00e9 and in charge of F\u00e9lix Mora. The first coins manufactured were of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/en\/in-search-of-an-identity-costa-rica-after-independence\/\">Central American Federation<\/a> type (the peso), with dies brought from Guatemala. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Mint was not in operation due to lack of materials and machinery, the post of assayer, who verified the quality of the coins in circulation, was maintained. In addition, during the second government of Braulio Carrillo Colina (1838-1842), the circulation of foreign coins from different countries was authorized, to which a six-pointed star stamp was applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After many efforts, during the administration of Juan Rafael Mora Porras, the first bank called Banco Nacional Costarricense was established in 1857. This bank issued 1, 2, 10 and 20 peso bills. After its closing in 1859, other banks emerged, such as Banco Anglo Costarricense (1863) and Banco de la Uni\u00f3n (1877), today known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bancobcr.com\/wps\/portal\/bcr\">Banco de Costa Rica<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was not until 1896 that the government of Rafael Iglesias Castro enacted the &#8220;Tal\u00f3n de Oro&#8221; law, establishing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sensorialsunsets.com\/en\/faq\/what-is-the-currency-of-costa-rica\/\">col\u00f3n<\/a> as the monetary unit, whose name was inspired by Christopher Columbus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sensorial Sunsets<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How was payment made in ancient times?
