Cuban convertible peso to Ethiopian Birr

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 Ethiopian birr (sign Br, code ETB) is a currency issued and accepted for payment on the territory of Ethiopia. The Ethiopian birr can be subdivided into smaller coins – cents. Every ETB has 100 cents.

The currency has been issued since 1976, replacing the Ethiopian dollar. The banknotes’ design embodies the character and uniqueness of the country. You can see portraits of local people, traditional farm animals, coffee plantations and people working in fields with oxen.
