Havana Uses European Gold for Government Payments
In Havana on August 21 Spanish and French gold are widely used for government payments by importers of dutiable goods. The Cuban government exchanges American money, losing about a half of one percent due to coin value disparities. When demand shifts during harvest, Louis d or and Spanish gold differ in value, prompting payments in American money and causing further losses. The post office holds an exchange deficit with Cuba as money issued in the United States exceeds that issued to Cuba, requiring funds sent from the U.S. and amplifying losses, especially if transport service has ceased.
