[Haitian Gourde]

The Haitian Gourde, abbreviated as HTG, is the official currency of Haiti. Introduced in 1813, it replaced the Haitian livre and has since been the backbone of the nation’s monetary system. The currency is issued and regulated by the Bank of the Republic of Haiti, which manages monetary policy and ensures economic stability. The gourde is subdivided into 100 centimes and is available in both coins and banknotes. Coins typically range from 5 to 50 centimes, while banknotes range from 10 to 5,000 gourdes, featuring national heroes, cultural symbols, and important landmarks that reflect Haiti’s rich heritage. Widely used in daily transactions, trade, salaries, and tourism, the HTG plays a vital role in supporting the domestic economy. Its stability is essential for commerce, financial confidence, and economic growth in Haiti.

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.
