That&#039;s the currency they force tourists to use, making them exchange good currency for this currency that is worthless outside Cuba. So don&#039;t exchange more than you need when you go to Cuba, otherwise the Cuban government gets to keep your good currency and you are left holding excess &quot;suveneir currency&quot; that in theory is equivalent to US Dollars but you can&#039;t get it exchanged anywhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are pegged 1:1 to the Dollar, so this would buy what $4.40 USD would buy (well, in Cuba only...and only in shops catering to tourists and people with foreign hard currency).</p><p><br /></p><p>Not part of the collection. It&#039;s coming with me to Cuba. It was left over from a relative&#039;s trip there and he let me have it for my trip.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]647508[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]647509[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
