Introduction

Formally, Cuba is a Republic. That is the name of the country and it is internationally recognised as such. The power exercised by Fidel Castro was more like a monarchy than a republic. However much Fidel tried to disguise the power structures to simulate a participatory and elective democracy and appointed his brother Raúl as his successor when he appeared to be seriously ill, and the fact that the uncrowned king for life is succeeded by his brother, is typical of a hereditary monarchy. The reign of Castroism has also had the main features of an absolute monarchy in the best style of the Middle Ages, exercising its power without restrictions and without division of powers. Fidel Castro is also at the top of the judiciary, removing and appointing judges, who owe him total obedience. While modern kingdoms have been democratised into constitutional and parliamentary monarchies, our Caribbean quasi-monarchy is at the same time a tyranny.

The Cuban peso historically circulated at par with the Spanish-American silver dollar from the 16th to 19th centuries, and then at par with the U.S. dollar from 1881 to 1959. The Castro government then introduced the socialist planned economy and pegged the peso to the Soviet ruble. The national currency in Cuba is the Cuban Peso (CUP). One Cuban Peso is equivalent to 0.039 euros. There are bills of 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 pesos, as well as fractional coins of 1, 3 and 5 pesos and 5 and 20 cents.
