Default Coste vs Costo

I've always wondered why in Spain they say "coste" instead of our Latin American word "costo"...Is it a new word they've acquired after the conquest of America or has it been used for ever and so we, Americans, changed it as time went by? I wonder...

La diferencia en el sentido es muy sutil, más bien está dada por su uso, como bien lo indicas, y por lo visto, en España ya se ha usado así a lo largo de su historia... ¿un caso de preferencia lingüística?

La verdad, como española, si oigo costo, en seguida , quizás por deformación de vivir en Madrid, pienso en droga, que es una de las acepciones de "costo", no de coste, que solo es el precio de algo.
