Argentine Peso to Cuban Peso

The Argentine peso (sign $, code ARS) is the currency used for payment within Argentina. The coins are called centavo. One peso equals 100 centavo.

It has been in circulation since 1992 when the old currency – austral – had been removed. Banknotes are designed with portraits of outstanding statesmen. 10 peso has an image of General Manuel Belgrano, and the 100 peso note has one of the first ladies of Argentina, Eva Perón. There are notes dedicated to the environment and fauna protection: with a jaguar, a blue whale, and the Falkland Islands.

The Cuban peso (sign $MN, code CUP) is the national currency of Cuba used along with the convertible peso. One peso can be exchanged for 100 small coins – centavos. The currency has first been issued in 1857.

Before that, the country used the Spanish real for payment. In tourism, the country still uses another currency, which is the convertible Cuban peso. However, recently it has become possible to pay with American dollars in shops and hotels. The government is planning to completely remove the convertible currency and only leave CUP.
