Cuban Peso to Pound Sterling

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 British pound or pound sterling (symbol: £, code: GBP, number: 826) is the official currency of Great Britain also used in the British Crown dependencies of Man, Jersey and Guernsey. Also in circulation on the Island of St. Helena, the Island of Ascension, Tristan da Cugna Island, the Falklands and in Gibraltar.

One pound is subdivided into one hundred pence. The abbreviation UKL - United Kingdom Libra is also sometimes used. The name derives from antique silver coins. However, there are other versions of the origin of the concept of "sterling”.
