Cuba's dual currency
Cuba has two currencies: one for its own people(Cuban pesos) and one for foreigners to spend( Cuban convertible pesos or CUC). For US citizens, our dollars and credit cards are not excepted so you have to convert dollars to CUC which is one to one but you get charged a tax of 13-15% so it is not really one to one.
One CUC is equal to 28 Cuban pesos.
