Investopedia explains 'CUP'
Cuba's other currency is the Cuban convertible peso, which is represented as CUC. The CUC is considered the "tourist dollar" because it is tied to the U.S. dollar and generally traded/used by Americans within the country. In November 2004, the American dollar ceased to be accepted by Cuban businesses. The country withdrew the dollar in retaliation for continued U.S. sanctions.
