    US$: Even Cuba will no longer accept U.S. dollars

    Cuba no longer to accept U.S. dollars
    HAVANA (AP) ? Cuba announced Monday that U.S. dollars will no longer be accepted at businesses and stores on the communist island starting next month in a move that will radically change the way cash transactions have been done there over the past decade.

          He did it because Bush have decided to penalise banks who trade US dollars with Cuba.

                No US dollars to Cuba?

                OUT FUCKING STANDING!!!

                Pesos here in Mexico currently have a 11.5:1 exchange rate. So let the stumbly old fuck use them.

                My money stays in my US bank and I withdraw it here in Pesos. I live like a King here.

                    I hate to say it and I hope it doesn't come back on me but I wished that Castro hit his head and died during his fall. I want to get over there and get my house in Old Havana.

                            that sucks for the cubans who live there, they love and depend on tourists paying them in US dollars. When I was there, US dollars were the only currency being accepted, they were so happy to even get $1.00 US, it makes a difference to them.

                              A lot more brains than your current president. In fact has always proven to be smarter than the US.

                              But who wants to keep on using the dollar anyway? Four years of Bush blunders turned the US dollar in a weak currency

                                This really makes no difference to the general population. It's like going to Canada or Mexico or Curacao and the locals preferring the US dollar instead of their own currency.

                                Supply and demand drive economics, especially in third world countries like Cuba.

                                    They don't get to keep any of the money.
                                    My cousins work in a hotel there... they take home like 300 us a day... when they go through the checkpoint they're asked if they have any money on them... if they think they do they strip search them and if any is found they're thrown in prison.

                                    DOn't tip them it goes directly to Castro you idiots

                                                          poor cubans, they are going to be having a tough time, especially those who have familiy in the us that used to send them dollars. With a few dollars they lived like kings. Well tough time for a lot of people , too bad.

                                                                  Your cousin works in Varadero I'm guessing if he is going through check points. The average Cuban is not getting searched for dollars. If you tip a waiter OUTSIDE of Varadero, they are going to keep it. That's how they survive. That's why doctors quit medicine and wait tables in Havana. They make more in dollar tips than if they do as a doctor there... About $12 per month.
