Hey, everyone! Stanley here, your friendly neighborhood time-traveling coin collector. If you’re new to my blog, welcome! I’ve been all over the place collecting coins, but this time I went back to Cuba. Why, you ask? Well, my friend Anthony has Cuban heritage, and I wanted to get some coins to surprise him. Plus, I’ve always been curious about the country.
Cuba has a fascinating history, and its coins are no exception. They’ve had a lot of different currencies over the years, including Spanish colonial currency, the peso, and even special commemorative coins for things like the World Baseball Classic. It’s a numismatist’s dream!
So, I arrived in Cuba and expected to get some coins in my change from buying something. But then, disaster struck. My time machine malfunctioned, and I was stuck in Cuba for a while. I won’t go into all the technical details, but suffice it to say, it was not fun. I was scared, but luckily, I managed to fix the machine with the help of a local mechanic.

The vilage I was in was called Trinidad. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular tourist destination. But, honestly, I didn’t really like it. It was too hot and humid for my liking, and the streets were crowded with tourists. I prefer more off-the-beaten path places.
Anyway, I had to spend about 3 hours searching for Cuba coins. I went to several stores and restaurants, but nobody had what I was looking for. Coins, sure, but not the type I wanted. I was starting to get really worried that I wouldn’t be able to find any. I even had a few close calls with people who didn’t like me asking about coins.

I decided to head to a nearby town called Cienfuegos. It’s a port city known for its French architecture. I took a bus to get there and, finally, I found what I was looking for. I got some great Cuban pesos in my change from buying a bottle of water at a small convenience store. It was such a relief!
After that, I hopped back in my time machine and headed back to present-day Canada. Now, you might be wondering why I decided to sell the coins on eBay instead of giving them to Anthony. Well, I remembered that Anthony’s memories of Cuba aren’t always the most pleasant.

So really, the Cuban coins were meant to be shared with others who’ll appreciate them as much as I do. Plus, the experience of finding them was the real reward for me.
So, if you’re a fellow coin collector or just curious about Cuba, I encourage you to give it a try. Who knows what kind of adventure you might have? And who knows, maybe I’ll try to get some Cuba coins again someday. Thanks for reading, and happy collecting!
