Converting from Albanian Lek (ALL) to Panama Balboa (PAB)

What is Albanian Lek (ALL)

The Albanian Lek (ALL) is the official currency of Albania, a country located in Southeast Europe on the Balkan Peninsula. The lek was introduced in 1926 and has undergone various changes and reforms since then. Its currency code, "ALL," is derived from "lek," which is believed to have been derived from Alexander the Great's name, Alexander.

The lek is subdivided into 100 qindarka, although qindarka is no longer used in everyday transactions. Banknotes are available in denominations of 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000, and 5,000 leks, while coins are available in 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 leks. The value of the lek can fluctuate against major currencies based on various economic factors, including inflation, political stability, and the country's economic performance. Due to these fluctuations, it’s vital for anyone planning to exchange Albanian Lek to stay updated with current exchange rates, especially if traveling to a foreign country like Panama.

What is Panama Balboa (PAB)

The Panama Balboa (PAB) is the official currency of Panama and has a unique history tied closely to the U.S. dollar. The balboa was established in 1904 and is named after the Spanish explorer Vasco Núñez de Balboa. While the balboa is used primarily in coin form, it is pegged to the U.S. dollar at a 1:1 exchange rate, meaning that one balboa is equal to one U.S. dollar. This relationship allows for stability in national and international trade, making it easier for businesses and travelers to transact.

In Panama, U.S. dollars are also widely accepted, and in many cases, you will find that U.S. coins can be used interchangeably with balboa coins. Banknotes in Panama are exclusively U.S. currency, and while balboa coins are still minted, they are less commonly used in everyday transactions. Thus, when visiting Panama, you will often encounter prices in U.S. dollars, making it crucial to understand the balboa's status as equal to the dollar for effective budgeting.

Converting ALL to PAB
