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.

UZS [Uzbekistan Som]

The Uzbekistan Som, abbreviated as UZS, is the official currency of Uzbekistan. Introduced in 1994 to replace the Soviet ruble following the country’s independence, it is issued and regulated by the Central Bank of Uzbekistan, which manages monetary policy and ensures economic stability. The som is subdivided into 100 tiyins, though smaller denominations are rarely used due to inflation. It is available in both coins and banknotes, with coins ranging from 1 to 500 som and banknotes from 1,000 to 1,000,000 som, featuring national heroes, cultural symbols, and historic landmarks. Widely used in daily transactions, trade, salaries, and services, the UZS plays a vital role in supporting Uzbekistan’s economy. Its stability fosters commerce, financial confidence, and economic growth.
