The official unit of currency in Panama is the Balboa. It is equal to one US dollar. However it only minted in coins less than one balboa. Abvoe that value US dollars are used as the means of exchange.

Casco viejo, Panamá city

Casco viejo is the old hart of the city. Part by part is being restored, but just a street further you still see the poverty of the normal Panameño living in the not yet restored buildings. When the governement also wants to renovate those, they will lose their homes...

Panama city

Panam city is certainly one of the most important economical cities in Central America. Its a city of contrasts between poor and rich, between old and modern, between the Latin American 'Mañana-life' and the Western 'Tommorow-life'.

This economical and political hart of the region is still expanding rapidly. New skycrapers change the horizons while the historical city is being restored.

This modern Panama was founded in 1673 and so moved at that time from the former capital, 'Panama viejo' 6,5 kms to the east. The Bahia de Panamá devides the old part of the and the new capital from the old, 'Casco viejo'.

Panama canal

The Panama canal is mostly the only thing people now about this central American country. There is of course much more to see, but I think it is a must to see those impressive ocean-going vessels go trough the huge canal locks. The Locks of Miraflores are a good place, just a little bit west of Panama city.

	ATM's

By laynie_b

on August 27, 2008

In case other people are having this same problem:
I tried to pull money out of 4 ATM's and I wasn't able to. It didn't deny me outright, but the machine went into this strange loop of me entering my information over and over until I gave up and hit cancel. I figured something was up with the local banks because I called my bank and there was no problem on their end. So I was on my way to a Scotiabank, to see if I could draw money out there when I came across a Western Union location with an international ATM that worked perfectly for me. (And it didn't charge me a fee!!) So if you have problems with the ATM's, find an American/Canadian bank or a Western Union!

	Great Destination!

The majority of people I have met through work come back absolutely thrilled about this destination!

Approximately 80% of them take the time to tell me they don't want to go back home and definitely want to come back!

I guess it's good!
