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 Georgian Lari (₾)
The Georgian Lari (GEL, ISO 4217 code 981, symbol ₾) is the official currency of Georgia, issued by the National Bank of Georgia (NBG, est. 1991). Subdivided into 100 tetri ('white' in Georgian, historically a silver coin name). Banknotes: ₾5, ₾10, ₾20, ₾50, ₾100, ₾200 (the highest denomination, introduced 2006; current series features Georgian historical figures — Ivane Javakhishvili, Akaki Tsereteli, Ilia Chavchavadze, Queen Tamar of Georgia, Shota Rustaveli, Davit IV the Builder); coins: 1 tetri, 2 tetri, 5 tetri, 10 tetri, 20 tetri, 50 tetri, ₾1, ₾2. The lari replaced the kupon (transitional currency 1993-1995) at GEL1 = 1,000,000 kupons on September 25, 1995. The lari symbol ₾ was officially introduced July 8, 2014 — designed by Malkhaz Shvelidze. Georgia is a small economy (~$25B GDP) but a popular tourist destination (~6 million visitors annually pre-COVID) and has pursued aggressive integration with Western institutions — it has been a NATO Membership Action Plan candidate since 2008 and signed an EU Association Agreement in 2014. NBG targets 3% CPI inflation per the Inflation-Targeting framework.
