Indian Rupee to Cuban Peso

The Indian rupee (international symbol s:₹ , Re, Rs (plural), code: INR, number: 356) is the currency used not only in India, but also in the neighboring Bhutan. 1 rupee is divided into 100 paisa. The name rupee for local currency has been in use since the 16th century.

For a long time there were several types of currency units operating in the country. A single rupee throughout the country was introduced in 1835 at the time when India was a colony of Great Britain.

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.
