    LIBRARY DETECTIVE WORK: PANAMA CURRENCY

    Last week's item about researching Panamanian currency
    inspired Jess Gaylor to do some digging in his own library. He
    writes: "I own a signed copy of the reference book, "Coins and
    Currency of Panama" by Capt. Julius Grigore Jr. USNR. There
    I found the following information:

    Denomination Number Printed
    1 720,000
    5 100,000
    10 100,000
    20 25,000

    These were printed after the enactment of Article 156 under
    Presidente Arnulfo Arias. The first issuance of the Arias
    Notes as they became known was made on Oct. 2, 1941.
    These were engraved and printed by the Hamilton Note
    Company of New York City. Each bill is exactly the same
    size as US Paper Currency. The reason these became
    known as the seven day notes was that President Aria was
    deposed after seven days in office. Of the 945,000 notes
    issued as of 1959 there were 3,000 balboas total. Numbers
    of each bill unknown. All are listed as extremely rare in the
    Encyclopedia of World Paper Money. (All credit goes to
    Capt. Grigore as the author, I just read and rewrote)."
