of Cristobal colon or also known as Christopher Columbus. But this money was changed to US dollars because of

with the USA to change the Colon for US dollars, and he did it and all Salvadorans were confused and angery because
know they had to put differnt prices to their product and they didn't know how to use US dollars because they weren't
the same as the Colon. After Francisco Flores left his Presidency he was immediately arrested and charge for corruption.
