In 1941, Panama’s President Arnulfo Arias pushed parliament to pass a bill that would lead to the establishment of the Central Bank of the Republic of Panama. In 1941, the central bank was established, and its main role was to issue banknotes. The bank’s target was to issue 6 million in balboa notes but only managed to circulate 2.7 million as of October 1941. A week later, the president was replaced by Ricardo Adolfo de la Guardia Arango in a coup supported by the United States. The central bank was closed, and issued notes were recalled from circulation and incinerated. Today, Panama has no note banknotes of its own. Instead, all banknotes are in US dollars. The notes are in denominations of $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100.

Prior to the country's independence, Panama was a colony of Spain until the early 19th century, and then became a department of Colombia. During these two periods in the country's history, Panama was represented by the Spanish flag and the Colombian flag. Panama's first flag of independence was nearly identical to the current flag. The design of the first flag had a blue and red rectangle located at the top of the flag and the bottom half was white. As political parties formed post-independence, blue was chosen to represent the Conservative Party. As a result, the blue color was moved to the bottom left corner.

Although the design of Panama's flag was created in 1925, its description was not officially recorded until 1949. The red, white, and blue design of the flag has a significant meaning to the people of Panama, as it is claimed to represent the political environment of Panama during the 1920s. During this period, two principal political parties, the Liberals and the Conservatives, had control of politics and the government, and the red color represented Liberal Party, while the blue color represented the Conservative Party. The blue star in the upper left corner symbolizes the honesty experienced throughout Panama, and the red star in the bottom right corner symbolizes the respect for laws and regulation held by the citizens. Finally, the white color is believed to represent purity and peace.

It had 13 horizontal stripes and a blue rectangle in the top left corner, like the US flag. The stripes, however, were red and yellow in color, like the Colombian and Spanish flags of the time. Madame Bunau-Varilla's design included two yellow suns in the blue field, which were connected by a horizontal yellow bar. The suns represented North and South America, while the connecting bar represented Panama between the two continents. However, given its similarity to the US flag, the design was not accepted.

The first balboa silver coins to be issued in Panama came in denominations of 2 1⁄2, 5, 10, 25, and 50 cents. They were small and were popularly referred to as the "Panama pill." Between 1907 and 1931, coins made of copper-nickel were introduced. In 1931, the one-balboa coin made of bronze was introduced. In 1966, the balboa coins were redesigned to match US coins. Modern coins in denominations of 1 and 5 cents, 1⁄10, 1⁄4, and 1⁄2 balboa coins have the same dimension, material composition, and weight as the coins. The most recent coin to be issued is the 1-balboa bi-metallic coin, issued in 2011. In addition to the currency in circulation, other commemorative coins in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, and 500 balboa also exist.

The balboa is named after Vasco Núñez de Balboa, a Spanish explorer who discovered the island in the early 16th century. Before 1904, the Colombian peso was used in Panama until it was replaced by the balboa after Panama's independence. The balboa is divided into 100 cents and has been pegged to the US dollar since 1904. There is no central bank to control the flow of cash or to bailout banks during financial problems. The banks operate on an average capital adequacy ratio of 15.6%, which is twice the minimum acceptable ratio to cushion themselves from sinking. The US dollar is the most commonly used currency in day to day transactions, and therefore the economy has become dollarized. For a long time, Panama was considered a tax haven for international organizations, drug traffickers, and money launderers but after the 2007-2008 financial crisis, it has stepped up its effort in fighting these crimes. The country has signed a treaty with the US and OECD countries to share financial information.
