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 ~$3-4 billion annually in transit fees), the Colón Free Trade Zone (the world's 2nd-largest free trade zone), banking (Panama hosts ~80 international banks), and shipping registry (the Panamanian flag is the world's largest by registered tonnage).
About Singapore Dollar (S$)
The Singapore Dollar (SGD, ISO 4217 code 702, symbol S$) is the official currency of the Republic of Singapore and is interchangeable with the Brunei Dollar (BND) under the Currency Interchangeability Agreement of 1967 (both nations accept each other's currency at par for transactions). Issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS, est. 1971). Subdivided into 100 cents. Banknotes are polymer (since 2007): S$2, S$5, S$10, S$50, S$100, S$1000, S$10000 (the S$10,000 note — featuring the late President Yusof bin Ishak — was the world's highest-denomination banknote until withdrawn from issuance in 2014); coins: 5¢, 10¢, 20¢, 50¢, S$1. MAS uses an unusual monetary policy framework — it manages SGD against a trade-weighted basket of currencies (the 'NEER policy band') rather than setting interest rates directly. Singapore is the world's 3rd-largest FX trading center after London and New York per BIS Triennial Survey 2022 (~9% of global FX turnover).
