New Costa Rican 100 colones

Friends:

There is a new Costa Rican coin: 100 colones, 2014.

I think it is different to last one (2007 #KM 240a), but I am not sure.

So I don't know if it must be added as a new KM number or in the KM 240a?



Thanks for help.

​And what is different? KM#240a is magnetic, so it's impossible that they changed the metal for some cheaper one. Measure the specifications - diameter, thickness and weight - and compare them to KM#240a.

The coins of 2006 and 2007 that I measured have the following specifications:
Diameter: 29,45 mm
Thickness: 1,95-2,05 mm
Weight: 8,85-8,9 g

​I think the difference is in the Lettering, I see the 2014 thicker than previous, but I not sure. So, I

As to the specifications are the same of 2007.
