Today the Panamanian government decide to take out of circulation the 1$ coin (called el Martinelli in reference to the ex president Ricardo Martinelli) and searching for information about the relationship of the USD and the Balboa, I found this.

This is one of the most complete explanations I found of a topic regarding the Panama History. Congrats!!

Superb piece, clear, deeply researched, and refreshingly well-explained. Easily the best short history of Panama’s dollarization I’ve read 🙌😉
