Panama

The Panamanian money is the balboa. The U.S. dollar is accepted everywhere and the change rate is B1 = US$1.

You can find coins of 1 and 10 balboa and coins of 50, 25, 10, 5 (known colloquially as “Real”) and 1 cents. The cents coins are of identical size, denomination, and metal as U.S. coins, and the coins of both nations are used here interchangeably.

Credit Cards

American Express and Visa are the most commonly used credit cards; Diners Club and MasterCard are also easily accepted
