Currency in Panama is called 'balboas.' One balboa is worth 100 centesimos, pronounced cent-decimals. Centesimos means hundredths. The balboa coins were first minted in June of 1904. Panamanian money exists in the form of coins only and no bills are in circulation, although there were a few made. The US dollar and the balboa have the same value in Panama and can be used interchangeably, with no exchange restrictions.

The explorer Balboa's first expedition was in 1501. On this journey, he crossed the Caribbean coasts from the east of Panama, along the Colombian coast, through the Gulf of Urabá toward Cabo de la Vela.
Balboa discovered and named Florida in 1513, although other travellers may have landed there in earlier years. Balboa was looking for islands in the western Caribbean Sea that were rumored to have gold and precious jewels. He did not find them, but explored the coast of the eastern Gulf of Mexico (now part of the state of Florida).

The currency is the Panamanian Balboa (PAB). 1 Panama Balboa = 1 US Dollar (USD).
It is a quarter of a Balboa, the unit of currency in Panama.
The Balboa (PAB) and US dollar (USD) are the currency of Panamá. The paper currency in the Republic of Panamá is the US dollar while coins are a mix of US coins and US minted centesimos, 5 centesimos, 10 centesimos, 25 centesimos, 50 centesimos and coins valued at B/1.00 (one dollar) and B/10.00 (ten dollars). The exchange rate is 1:1.
Panama uses both the Balboa (PAB) and the US dollar (USD) as legal currency with the value of the Balboa fixed at one PAB equaling one USD.
The "decimo de balboa" refers to a tenth of a balboa, the currency of Panama. Since one balboa is equivalent to one U.S. dollar, a decimo (or tenth) of a balboa is worth 10 cents, or $0.10. It is primarily used in coin form alongside U.S. currency in Panama.
Panama has two official currencies. One of these is the Panamanian balboa, named after the Spanish conquistador Vasco Núñez de Balboa. It is subdivided into one hundred (100) centésimos, and was introduced in 1904. The other official currency is the United States dollar. The two are circulated alongside each other and have an exchange rate of 1:1.
I assume you are asking for the currency unit. It's the Balboa; 1 balboa = 1 U.S. dollar.
