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).
About Omani Rial (﷼)
The Omani Rial (OMR, ISO 4217 code 512, symbol ﷼ or RO) is the official currency of the Sultanate of Oman, issued by the Central Bank of Oman (CBO, est. 1974 as Oman Currency Board, CBO 1975). Subdivided into 1,000 baisa (one of only a few currencies subdivided into thousandths). Banknotes: 100 baisa, 1/2 rial (500 baisa), 1 RO, 5 RO, 10 RO, 20 RO, 50 RO (the highest denomination; current 3rd series introduced 2010 features Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said portrait — replaced 2020+ by Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said following Qaboos's death January 2020); coins: 5 baisa, 10 baisa, 25 baisa, 50 baisa, 100 baisa. OMR is pegged to USD at OMR0.3845 per USD since 1986, making OMR the world's 3rd-highest-valued circulating currency by face value after KWD and BHD. Oman is a member of the GCC but did not join the proposed GCC monetary union (which has been on hold since 2009). Oman produces ~1.0 million bpd oil (less than its Gulf neighbors) and is diversifying via Vision 2040 (logistics, tourism, mining, fisheries, manufacturing). Oman shares the Strait of Hormuz with Iran.
