古巴冷知识:有两套货币,游客和国民用的不同
古巴的货币系统很神奇,他们的钱分成两套,游客用的和本国人用的不一样。
古巴本国人用的钱叫古巴比索 Cuban peso,简称CUP,现在1CUP相当于0.03美元。
而游客们用的是可兑换比索 convertible peso,简称CUC,它和美元是1:1兑换的。

In Cuba, there is a dual monetary system since two currencies circulate: the CUP (Cuban peso) and the CUC (convertible peso). The Cuban peso is known as the national currency. The value of the convertible peso, however, is pegged 1:1 to the United States dollar. According to Latin American Post, most workers receive their salary in CUP, while large quantities of commodities are sold in CUC, resulting in a loss for consumers due to high prices. The CUC is the currency for tourists.
因为古巴有两种流通货币,所以古巴有双重货币制度:CUP(古巴比索)和CUC(可兑换比索)。古巴比索是古巴的本国货币。而可兑换比索与美元的汇率为1:1。据《拉丁美洲邮报》报道,多数工人的工资都是用古巴比索结算的,而很多商品都是用可兑换比索定价的,而因为高昂的价格,这给消费者带来很大的损失。可兑换比索是游客使用的货币。
