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.
