About Panamanian Balboa (B/.)
The Panamanian Balboa (PAB, ISO 4217 code 590, symbol B/.) is the official currency of the Republic of Panama โ named after the Spanish explorer Vasco Nรบรฑez 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 Panamรก, BNP, est. 1904 in current form). Subdivided into 100 centรฉsimos. Unique among world currencies: Panama issues NO banknotes for the balboa โ only coins. Panama uses US dollar banknotes as the principal physical paper money in circulation since 1904. Coins: 1 centรฉsimo, 5 centรฉsimos (= 1 nickel), 10 centรฉsimos (= 1 dime), 25 centรฉsimos (= 1 quarter), 50 centรฉsimos (= 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 Colรณn 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).
