Since its separation from Colombia in 1903, Panama has used the United States Dollar. These coins have the same specifications as the United States Quarter and circulate alongside it.Interesting fact
The ¼ Balboa coin commemorating the Construction of the Panama Canal has a unique feature - it has a convex shape, resembling a small saucer, instead of being flat like most coins. This design was chosen to symbolize the waterway's curvature and the engineering feat of building the canal.
