It is likely to be better to use a different currency. Shops, restaurants etc do not accept USD (and haven't for nearly 5 years). The two currencies are the convertible peso (CUC) and the national peso (CUP or MN). Exchange rates are based on 1 CUC = US $1.08; 1 CUC => 24 CUP whilst 25 CUP => 1 CUC. Ah - shopping ? No, in general, the shopping in Cuba is not very good.

Im guessing that your not american or you would not be able to visit cuba anyways. At the airport and hotels they will convert most international currency(euros, pounds, canadian, ect) to cuban money.

There are two types of currencies that u can use in Cuba, one is the cuban dollars or chavitos (CUC) or the Cuban Pesos, Also if you are in Varadero you may use Euros.

When i went there I gave them $100 and they gave me $80 back. Shopping in general is quite awful since the $ are high and the quality is low.
