Cuban convertible peso to Colombian Peso

The Cuban convertible peso (sign $, code CUC) is one of the two currencies used in Cuba. The name has become a reason for an unofficial name of the currency. It is often called cuc.

One peso can be exchanged for 100 centavos. The convertible peso has first been introduced in Cuba in 1994 to allow for an easier payment process for tourists and diplomats within the country. The introduction of the convertible peso as a second currency has led to an increase in fraud directed at foreign citizens. Since 2013, Cuba has started to gradually decrease the use of this currency, turning to the regular Cuban peso.

The Colombian peso (sign COL$, code COP) is the currency of Colombia, it is official only on the territory of the issuer country. Peso can be subdivided into centavos. One COP equals 100 centavos.

The currency has officially appeared in 1886, taking the place of the old Colombian real. Today, only those notes that were issued after 1995 are used in circulation. The notes have important Colombian figures represented on them. Among them, there is an artist Débora Arango, a poet José Silva, and one of the ex-presidents – Carlos Lleras Restrepo.
