Abstract: Before the creation of Banco de la República in 1923, several currencies actively circulated in Colombia. The information on them is distributed across widespread sources. This represents a structural limitation for long-term analyses of the economy of the period. This paper addresses this issue by systematizing the information available on all those Colombian currencies between 1850 and 1923. It provides a table of exchange rates to convert amounts between any two currencies during the period, thus generating a useful tool for economic historians of the region.
