How much is a 2003 Panama quarter worth?

Like all countries that issue coins, Panama has more than one denomination so "a Panama coin" is not specific enough to ID your item. However, Panama's currency is linked to the U.S. dollar. That means if it's an ordinary circulation coin with a denomination in centavos or Balboas, its value is the same as if it were in cents or dollars; i.e. 25 centavos = 25 cents.

If the coin is a silver bullion coin (it may say something like "oro puro") its value is determined by the price of silver, now about $18/oz

How does the Panama Canal benefit?

Before the Panama Canal was built, traders from Europe that traveled by sea had to go down the coast of South America and around the Southern most tip of the North American continent in order to get to places on the west coast of North and South America, like California. This was a very dangerous trip, because the water around the most southern bit of the North American continent has very still water and is full of icebergs, making it hard to navigate.
Once the Panama Canal was in place, the traders could simply go straight through without having to go down and around the whole continent. This shortcut also saved travelers about three months on ship voyages.
