I am translating a Colombia Marriage certificate that lists the amounts paid for notarial services. The original in Spanish states "$33.660,00" but it does not specify that it is referring to Colombian pesos, although it is implied since the certificate was issued in Colombia. When translating these amounts for use in the United States of America, I translated the number as "$33,660.00" exchanging the period for the coma and my question is whether it is necessary to add "Col pesos right after the amount to avoid mistaking it with US dollars. Please advise colleagues.

This is the ISO code. I generally place it in front of the $ sign and a space between them.

Yes, it is preferable that you use Colombian Pesos to only use $ because it can be confused. I work a lot with Latin American certificates and regularly I write it that way, e.g. Mexican pesos.
A good option for not writing the whole word is Mr. Huddleston's answer.
I hope it helps.
