4. Colon The col?n (named after Christopher Columbus, known as Crist?bal Col?n in Spanish) is the currency of Costa Rica. The plural is colones in Spanish, but English-speakers often say colons instead. The ISO 4217 code is CRC. The symbol for the col?n is a c with two slashes. The symbol looks like "₡". The col?n was introduced in 1896, replacing the peso at par. The col?n is divided into 100 centimos, although, between 1917 and 1919, coins were issued using the name centavo for the 1/100 subunit of the peso.

5. Cricket. He received a severe blow during practice in 1750 and died some months later due to the abscess caused by the blow. The Prince Frederick, Prince of Wales (1707 ? 1751) was a member of the Hanoverian and British Royal Family, the eldest son of George II and father of George III. He was born into the House of Hanover and, under the Act of Settlement passed by the English Parliament in 1701, Frederick was in the direct line of succession to the British throne. He moved to Great Britain following the accession of his father, and became the Prince of Wales. In the years following 1733, there are frequent references to the Prince of Wales as a patron of cricket and as an occasional player, though it is doubtful if he was actually any good as a player. The cause of death has been commonly attributed to an abscess created by a blow by a cricket ball or a tennis ball, but a burst abscess in the lung was given as the cause of death.
