Panamanian

Balboa The balboa is the legal tender in Panama and PAB is abbreviated, in addition, it is divided into 100 hundredths and what characterizes it is that it is not an independent currency, but a local version of the US dollar.

The Panamanian government issues its own coins in hundredths and balboas equivalent to dollars, although these currencies are not accepted in the United States. This is not the only case, since the Tuvaluan and Kiribatian dollars are in the same relationship with the Australian dollar.

This link with the US dollar occurred in 1904 after the Panama National Convention. In addition, in 2010, the coin of a balboa came into circulation, of which 40 million units were issued.

The receipt of this currency was negative and Panamanians accused the forced use of it to the detriment of the US banknote, so the currency was called “Martinelli”, in reference to Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli, who promoted it.

Attempts were also made to mint two- and five-balboa coins, but the project was later canceled. Today there are coins of 1 and 5 hundredths in circulation; a tenth, a quarter and a half of balboa, as well as the one balboa.
