molole Posted April 12, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) I can bring either $1000 Canadian dollars or $800 US dollars to my days in Cuba. Which will get me more CUCs? The exchange rates are confusing me. Edited April 12, 2019 by molole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbenjamin Posted April 12, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 12, 2019 CAD$1000 should get you CUC$727.50 at today's exchange rate. USD$800 would get you CUC$696. The exchange rate is straightforward. USD to CUC is simply .87 CUCs to the dollar. CAD to CUC is the same as CAD to USD less 3%, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Oviedo32765 Posted April 14, 2019 #3 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I would not take USDs because there is a 10% surcharge in addition to the exchange rate. I would suggest taking either CADs or Euros to avoid the surcharge. I know Bank of America and Wells Farge Bank will exchange USDs to Euros. We had no problem exchanging Euros in Cuba.

FredZiffle Posted April 15, 2019 #4 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Assuming you have free access to either $1,000 CAD or $800 US (no exchanging one for the other, no fees, etc.), then ignore every other response on this thread except the one by pbenjamin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
