Colombian Pesos

Issued by the Bogotá-based Banco de la República since 2014, the current set of Colombian Peso banknotes all feature two images of an important historical figure from Colombia: one showing the person standing and another showing a close up portrait. The banknotes range from $2,000 to $100,000 pesos but the last three zeroes are replaced by the word 'Mil' (thousand). Colombian Pesos banknotes are difficult to exchange outside of Colombia. At Leftover Currency we are able to exchange Colombian banknotes. In addition to current Colombian peso banknotes, we also exchange Colombian Peso coins, including pre-2012 withdrawn Colombian Peso coins, as well as withdrawn peso banknotes from Colombia.

In 2012 the Banco de la República introduced its new series of Colombian Peso coins celebrating the biodiversity of Colombian fauna and flora. The current Colombian Peso coins in use are $50, $100, $200, $500 and $1000 COP. To combat large-scale counterfeiting of Colombian coinage, the new series of Colombian Peso coins have advanced security features. Each coin in the series features an animal or plant indigenous to Colombia. If you have Colombian Peso coins from before 2012, these have been withdrawn from circulation. To exchange them, visit our page about withdrawn Colombian Peso coins. In addition to current Colombian Peso coins, we also exchange current Colombian Peso banknotes and older series, withdrawn Colombian Peso banknotes.

These Colombian Peso banknotes have been taken out of circulation by the Banco de la Republica. First issued in the 1990's, these withdrawn Colombian banknotes from $1000 to $50,000 pesos have been replaced by banknotes with more modern security features. In addition to these withdrawn Colombian Peso banknotes we also exchange the current Colombian Peso banknotes, current Colombian Peso coins as well as withdrawn Colombian Peso coins.

These older types of Colombian Peso coins were replaced by the 2012 series coins. The Banco de la República decided to replace the older coins because of widespread counterfeiting. It's still possible to exchange the withdrawn Colombian Peso coins. If you have leftover old COP coins, we are able to convert them back to spendable cash. In addition to withdrawn Colombian Peso coins we also exchange all current Colombian Peso coins, as well as current Colombian Peso banknotes and withdrawn Colombian Peso banknotes.
