Comments

Od czasu odłączenia się od Kolumbii w 1903 r. Panama używa dolara amerykańskiego. Monety te mają takie same specyfikacje jak 1 dolar. Ze względu na rosnącą cenę srebra w latach 60. monety te nigdy nie zostały wyemitowane do powszechnego obiegu i były sprzedawane z premią powyżej wartości nominalnej.

Według Królewskiej Mennicy Brytyjskiej wybito 200 tysięcy monet z datą 1967. Ostateczny los tych monet jest obecnie nieznany.

Ponad 200 000 monet z 1966 roku zostało przetopionych w 1971 roku w celu uzyskania srebra na monety 20 Balboas. Automatically translated

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Since its separation from Colombia in 1903, Panama has used the United States Dollar. These coins have the same specifications as the 1 Dollar. Due to the rising price of silver in the 1960s, these coins were never issued for general circulation and were sold with a premium above face value.

According to the Royal British Mint, 200 thousand 1967-dated coins were minted. The ultimate fate of these coins is currently unknown.

More than 200,000 of the 1966 coins were melted down in 1971 to provide silver for 20 Balboas coins.
