CUC [Cuban Convertible Peso]

The Cuban Convertible Peso, abbreviated as CUC, was one of Cuba’s two official currencies, alongside the Cuban Peso (CUP). Introduced in 1994, the CUC was created to facilitate tourism and foreign trade, as it was pegged to the US Dollar at a 1:1 rate. It was widely used by tourists and in businesses that dealt with imports or foreign currency. The currency existed in coins and banknotes, featuring national symbols, historical figures, and landmarks. In 2021, Cuba began phasing out the CUC as part of monetary unification, aiming to simplify its currency system and strengthen the CUP, making the CUC largely obsolete.

EGP [Egyptian Pound]

The Egyptian Pound, abbreviated as EGP, is the official currency of Egypt. Introduced in 1834, it replaced the Egyptian piastre as the main unit of currency and has undergone several reforms since then. The currency is issued and regulated by the Central Bank of Egypt, which manages monetary policy and ensures economic stability. The pound is subdivided into 100 piastres and is available in both coins and banknotes. Coins typically range from 25 piastres to 1 pound, while banknotes range from 5 to 200 pounds, featuring famous Egyptian leaders, landmarks, and cultural symbols. Widely used in daily transactions, salaries, trade, and tourism, the EGP is crucial for Egypt’s economy. Its stability supports domestic commerce, international trade, and financial confidence, making it a key symbol of national economic identity.
