Hungarian Forint to Cuban Peso

The Hungarian forint (symbol: Ft : codes: HUF and 348) is the official currency of Hungary, introduced on the territory of the newly formed state in the post-war years. The first modern forint dates back to 1946. It is on the list of the convertible currencies of the CLS system.

Forint is divided into one hundred fillers (discontinued). The banknotes depict portraits of monarchs, historical figures, and the images of the related architectural monuments. The encoding uses the international character ƒ. Pengyo was the predecessor of the forint since 1927.

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.
