Sri Lankan Rupee to Cuban convertible peso

The Sri Lankan rupee (sign Rs, code LKR) is the official currency issued and accepted for payment on the territory of an Asian state – Sri Lanka. The currency is also called Lankan rupee. The Sri Lankan rupee is subdivided into cents.

Every LKR has 100 cents. The currency has been issued since 1948, the year when Sri Lanka gained its independence. The Sri Lankan rupee depicts traditional animals of Asia, local people in national costumes, rare tropical flowers.

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.
