The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.

How do you dial a cell phone in Colombia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Mobile company codes in Colombia are three digits, beginning with a 3, followed by a 7-digit subscriber number.

Calling from a landline within Colombia, dial 03, followed by the mobile code and subscriber number; for example, 03-3xx-123-4567.

Calling on a mobile from anywhere in the world, dial +57 (including the plus symbol) followed by the mobile code and subscriber number.

Calling on a landline from outside Colombia, dial your international access prefix (depends on YOUR location), then 57, the mobile code, and subscriber number. For example, if your international access prefix is 00 (the most commonly used prefix), then you would dial 00-57-3xx-123-4567.

In international format, the telephone area code for Bogota, Colombia, is +57 1.

(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)

Corrupt practices are established in English_lawthrough the Corrupt Practices Prevention Act 1854, an act which repealed all former legislation. Under this act, persons are deemed to be exercising corrupt practice in an election by undertaking a range of defined actions, including:Answers.com

Common law applies to parliamentary, municipal, county and parish council elections. The law allows for the incapacitation, from holding office in that borough, of those found guilty of corrupt practice in an election. Candidates found guilty of corrupt practice on a personal basis are, under common law, incapacitated from holding office indefinitely; if an electoral candidate's unit, or organisation, is found guilty of Grosscorrupt practice, the provisions of the Corrupt Practices Prevention Act allow for that unit, including the candidate themselves, and his or her agents, to be incapacitated from holding corporate office in the borough for up to three years.

What does Columbia produce?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to the US Government, Columbia's exports petroleum, coffee, coal, nickel, emeralds, apparel, bananas, and cut flowers.

According to thefreedicionary.com, oil replaced coffee as the nation's leading legal export in 1991. Cocaine is the major illicit export, accounting for about 25% of foreign exchange earnings.

However, I must be point out that cocaine does not generate income for the government (taxes are not collected to support education, infrastructure, or health care, etc.) or the general population since the majority of the income is kept in the hands of the people controlling the industry, so therefor it's commerce that doesn't benefit the country.
