Cuban Peso to Ethiopian Birr

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.

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.
