Text Box: Cuba shares plans for a single currency and more during a visit by U.S. lawmakers February 21, 2018 05:29 PM Cuba, which has been operating under two currencies for the past two decades, may soon go back to a single one, a U.S. congressional delegation visiting the island this week said at a press conference on Wednesday.“Cuban officials repeatedly said this was the year to get it done, to unify the currency,” said Oregon Democratic Sen Ron Wyden during a press conference at the U.S. Embassy in Havana.“They say it is very complicated because it affects wages throughout the island and the government...but they do hope to do that this year,” Florida Rep. Kathy Castor (Tampa-D) told the Miami Herald.
