Philippine Peso to Cuban Peso

The Philippine peso (international symbol: ₱, code: PHP, number: 608) is the currency of the Philippines that has existed since 1858. One peso is subdivided into 100 sentimos. Contemporary banknotes were developed back in 1969.

Since 1970, the peso exchange rate has been floating, regulated by the Central Bank of the Philippines. The entire money supply is located and used as a legal tender only within the state. The country has an official ban on the export of the national currency. Beginning with the year of 2013 the exchange rate of the Philippine currency against the US dollar has decreased significantly.

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.
