Description
The Cuban peso is the official legal tender of Cuba, issued by the Banco Central de Cuba. It is primarily used for everyday transactions by residents, while the former convertible peso (CUC) was withdrawn in 2021, leaving the peso as the sole currency.
One peso is divided into 100 centavos. The peso is not freely convertible on international markets and is subject to a fixed official exchange rate against the US dollar, though a parallel market often yields different rates. The currency bears the symbol "$" and is locally referred to as "peso cubano". Spanish is the official language of Cuba, and the population is known as Cubans.
