Cuba:

Currently, the only national currency in Cuba is the Cuban Peso, also known as the CUP or simply the peso. It is officially the only currency accepted in Cuba for most transactions. Then what is the Best Currency to Bring to Cuba? Bring Euros, US Dollars or Canadian Dollars cash to Cuba if you can. Highly recommended that you do not exchange money at the airport or at the official money exchange locations. Consult with your guide or accommodation host and ask where you can exchange your money for a much better rate than formal one.
Don't bring back Cuban money to Canada unless you want it as a souvenir, it cannot be exchanged outside the country.

Second the banks charge 2.5% for each transaction that you have out of the country. Third the bank currency exchanges are alway worst than the currency exchange retailers like Ultimate Currency Exchange.
