Cuban currency??

Travel Info
What is the best thing to do regarding taking holiday currency to Cuba? Please advise me what to do.

Travel Tips

Two rules on visiting Cuba:
1. Don麓t take Dollars, as they charge you a 20% markup (1 Peso cubano convertible = 1.20 US$)
2. Take Euros or Canadian Dollars. Or better yet, use a credit card.
Have a nice trip. Be careful of what you say in front of "Tour Guides". Most of them are actually agents.

Others
Take biros and chewing gum for the kids.
See if you can buy Pesos at the Post Office. They have lots of currencies. Check with American Express if their traveller's cheques can be used in Cuba.

Y buen viaje!

i am sure their currency will not be convertible here. I would take dollars I can't see them being refused. Besty to ask the travel agent however.
This getting to be a regular question. The currency is the Cuban peso, the currency for the tourist is the CUC convertible peso, neither of which is a traded currency. DO NOT TAKE US DOLLARS they are penalized. If you are coming from the UK then bring pound notes and a credit card that is not connected to a US bank. Some banks will try to sell you Euros which is accepted in Cuba but you will have lost money on the 'turn'. If you are from the US then you'll just have to suffer a 10% charge for using them.
