The Cuban Peso.
The currency used in Cuba is the Cuban Peso (CUP) and the Cuban Convertible Peso (CUC).
whose face was on the Philippine one peso bill? what national monument or event was on the back of the Philippine one peso bill? when was the Philippine one peso bill in circulation or in use? The Blue One Peso Bill with Jose Rizal's face on it was released in 1969 (The series was released in 1969 so I assume that it was released alongside the others). The first Jose Rizal 1-peso coin was released in 1972. BTW, there was also a one-peso bill and coin released during the American occupation with the peso having equivalent value as the US dollar. I'm not sure of this, i just put together some bits and pieces of things that I came across the web. Cheers!
You cannot buy either Cuban Peso or Cuban Convertible Pesos outside of Cuba. CUC (Cuban Convertible Peso) is for the tourists and you can only buy that in Cuba. You can buy at the airport or at your hotel. The Cuban Pesos is not sold to tourists... and avoid street exchanges!!
