[edit] Opening paragraph

"As of March 2006, one convertible peso equals approximately 26.5 pesos. As of April 2nd, 2006 one dollar equals 24 pesos in the Cuban National Bank (Banco Central de Cuba), which is the most important bank on the island." But it later says 1 USD = 26.5 pesos.

The Banco Central de Cuba is the regulating authority - it doesn't actually change money for the public !

[edit] Coins

The aricle mentions a rare 40 centavo coin.

The Banco Central website makes no mention of such a coin. http://www.bc.gov.cu/Espanol/monedas_cubanas.asp

40 centavo coins were last issued in 1962.

But are they still legal tender ? -- Beardo 22:43, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
