The currency has been introduced in 1885. However, the design of the notes has gone through several changes. As for now, majority of circulation is money of a format of 2003. Old banknotes are slowly going out of use. Despite the name change, you can still feel the spirit of the British Empire in the country. Thus, modern $ notes have a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.

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.
