About New Zealand Dollar (NZ$)
The New Zealand Dollar (NZD, ISO 4217 code 554, symbol NZ$ or 'Kiwi') is the official currency of New Zealand, the Cook Islands, Niue, Tokelau, and the Pitcairn Islands, issued by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ, est. 1934). Subdivided into 100 cents. Banknotes are polymer (since 1999): NZ$5 (Sir Edmund Hillary, the only NZ banknote featuring a living person at time of issue — until his death 2008), NZ$10 (Kate Sheppard — Suffrage), NZ$20 (Queen Elizabeth II → King Charles III planned), NZ$50 (Sir Apirana Ngata), NZ$100 (Lord Ernest Rutherford); coins: 10¢, 20¢, 50¢, NZ$1 ('kiwi dollar' featuring the kiwi bird), NZ$2. 1¢ and 2¢ coins withdrawn 1990; 5¢ withdrawn 2006. NZD is the world's 10th-most-traded currency per BIS Triennial Survey 2022. RBNZ was the first central bank in the world to formally adopt inflation targeting (March 1990, 0-3% CPI target, now 2% midpoint with 1-3% range per 2018 Policy Targets 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).
