Nothing earth shattering, just a couple of coins we figure my FIL picked up when he was in Panama for Jungle Training when he was a Paratrooper. In a nutshell we found a 1933 Medio-Balboa, and a 1953 Un Decimo. I've done a little searching here and gaine a little info, but was wondering if someone could shed a little more light. These will go to one of the Grandkids, and of course their first question will be "What are they worth"!! Hard to explain to them that the value is that their Grandpa was a Paratrooper and these were an important part of his military life, but that's kids for ya. Thanks for any additional info!

Sadly I have no knowledge of coins outside of the US. I am sure someone could give you some more info from here though. Might help if you could post pics.
