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.

GIP [Gibraltar Pound]

The Gibraltar Pound, abbreviated as GIP, is the official currency of Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula. It is pegged at par with the British Pound Sterling (GBP) and circulates alongside it, ensuring stability and international recognition. The currency is issued and regulated by the Government of Gibraltar, which manages monetary policy and maintains financial stability. The Gibraltar Pound is available in both coins and banknotes, with coins ranging from 1 penny to 50 pence and banknotes from 5 to 50 pounds. The banknotes often feature local landmarks, historical figures, and cultural symbols unique to Gibraltar. Widely used for daily transactions, salaries, trade, and tourism, the GIP supports the territory’s economy while maintaining strong economic ties with the United Kingdom.
