As a Costa Rican, the video is wrong about what the bills are worth. Bills are thousands, not millions. You can see on the bills themselves, the full number is on them on the top left corner. The "10MIL" for example, in the center of the bill literally means "10THOUSAND". "Mil" is Spanish for "Thousand", not short for "Million" as is sometimes used in English.
A quick shorthand for assessing values in colones is that every 1 000 colones is less than $2. So a 10 000 colones bill is less than $20, probably around 18-19 depending on the exact exchange rate for the day.
