About Indonesian Rupiah (Rp)
The Indonesian Rupiah (IDR, ISO 4217 code 360, symbol Rp) is the official currency of the Republic of Indonesia, issued by Bank Indonesia (BI, est. 1953). Subdivided into 100 sen (no longer in use). Banknotes: Rp1,000 (rarely circulated paper version, replaced by coin), Rp2,000, Rp5,000, Rp10,000, Rp20,000, Rp50,000, Rp75,000 (commemorative 75th Independence Day issue 2020), Rp100,000 (featuring Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta, Indonesia's founding fathers); coins: Rp50, Rp100, Rp200, Rp500, Rp1,000. The 1997-1998 Asian Financial Crisis devastated the rupiah — IDR fell from ~Rp2,400 per USD to over Rp16,000 per USD at peak crisis, contributing to President Suharto's resignation May 1998. Indonesia removed three zeros from the rupiah in 1965 and has periodically discussed further redenomination ('Sanering') legislation. Indonesia is Southeast Asia's largest economy (~$1.4T GDP) and the world's 4th-most-populous country (~280 million). BI targets 2.5% ± 1% CPI inflation per the Monetary Policy Framework Agreement.
About Panamanian Balboa (B/.)
The Panamanian Balboa (PAB, ISO 4217 code 590, symbol B/.) is the official currency of the Republic of Panama — named after the Spanish explorer Vasco Núñez de Balboa, who in 1513 became the first European to see the Pacific Ocean from the Americas. Issued by the National Bank of Panama (Banco Nacional de Panamá, BNP, est. 1904 in current form). Subdivided into 100 centésimos. Unique among world currencies: Panama issues NO banknotes for the balboa — only coins. Panama uses US dollar banknotes as the principal physical paper money in circulation since 1904. Coins: 1 centésimo, 5 centésimos (= 1 nickel), 10 centésimos (= 1 dime), 25 centésimos (= 1 quarter), 50 centésimos (= 1/2 USD), B/.1 (= 1 USD), B/.2 (rare commemorative). The balboa is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar since 1904 (the country was effectively dollarized from independence), making transactions between PAB coins and USD banknotes seamless. Panama is a high-income economy by Latin American standards (~$80B GDP), driven by the Panama Canal (which generates ~$3-4 billion annually in transit fees), the Colón Free Trade Zone (the world's 2nd-largest free trade zone), banking (Panama hosts ~80 international banks), and shipping registry (the Panamanian flag is the world's largest by registered tonnage).
