Cuban pesos
10 Cuban (National) pesos (top)
10 CUCs (for tourists) (bottom)
There are two kinds of Cuban pesos
The currency that you will use everywhere in Cuba is the CUC, also known as the Convertible Peso.
But it is also legal for tourists to purchase National pesos... commonly called Cuban pesos.
Your CUCs can be changed to National Money (above) ...if you want
If you want to wander into a Peso store or buy street foods or take a local bus across town, it’s a good idea to exchange a handful of your CUCs for Cuban pesos at a
Casa de cambio--or Cadeca--
that does so.
