The official currency is the Cuban Peso (CUP), divided into 100 centavos (cents). Notes can be 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 pesos.

The only currency accepted is the convertible Cuban peso. All hotels have a Bureau de Change as do the airports.

You can only get these in Cuba and they are non transferable anywhere in the world so if you do bring them out of the country they are absolutly useless.

You can change sterling or euros into Cuban pesos.

If you take travellers cheques you cannot exchange any that belong to any American bank.

This is the same for credit cards, ie american express, MBNA etc.
