Cuba's dual-currency system produced two parallel series of foreign exchange certificates in the 1980s — one backed by convertible ("hard") currencies, one by socialist-bloc currencies. The "B" series, distinguished by its blue serial prefix, was specifically for visitors arriving with Soviet, East German, Czech, or other COMECON currencies. Holders were restricted to designated "B" shops, which stocked considerably less than the dollar-backed "A" circuit stores. The practical effect was a three-tier purchasing hierarchy: hard currency tourists, bloc-currency visitors, and ordinary Cubans.
Státní Tiskárna Cenin in Prague printed the entire FX series — a logical arrangement given Cuba's close economic ties with Czechoslovakia throughout this period.
