Cuban money, make sure you get the right change
In Cuba there are two types of money. The peso that the locals use is called the National currency. The tourists use "Convertible" pesos. The convertible peso is worth about 5 times more than the national currency but the paper bills and change look almost identical. The only way to tell is looking closely. The convertible pesos say "converible peso" on them in small print. If you give a convertible peso (called CUCs) to pay for something they are supposed to give you CUCs as change, if you need change. Of course if they give you national currency, you will be ripped-off and they will be richer.
