Vendors wait for customers at their stalls, with prices tagged in Cuban pesos, at a market in Havana October 23, 2013. Cuba took the first step towards scrapping its two-tier currency on October 22, 2013, in a move which could boost local workers' income and remove a major hurdle for importers and exporters. Cuba's convertible peso (CUC) is pegged to the U.S. dollar, while the local peso (CUP) is valued at a fraction of the greenback's value, angering the population which is paid in the latter, and complicating accounting, the evaluation of performance, and trade for state companies. The writing on the wall in the background reads, "Socialism". REUTERS/Desmond Boylan (CUBA - Tags: SOCIETY BUSINESS AGRICULTURE) - RTX14LG0
