Here is a coin collection you don't want to
miss out on! (Just Kidding). Who would have
though he and his brother would be in power

became Cuba's dictator.
Viva the revolution!

Americans aren't free to buy these, right?

Hello
Base on the information below, I would say no on
any American buying these coins.
If the coins were considered "artwork", they
could be purchase.
Below is part of the Cuban sanctions regulations
under the "Trading With the Enemy Act".
FROM:
http://www.treas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/programs/ascii/cuba.txt
IMPORTING CUBAN-ORIGIN GOODS OR SERVICES - Goods
or services of Cuban origin may not be imported
into the United States either directly or through
third countries, such as Canada or Mexico. The
only exceptions are: publications, artwork, or
other informational materials.

The regime is strongly anti-American, yet
desperate for U.S. dollars to prop itself
up.

Funny how our government uses words. They say Cuba is the enemy then
claim they are anti-American.
I think Cuba once issued coins commemorating the presidency of Abraham
Lincoln.

IIRC, it is legal to import Cuban coins dated 1962 or earlier. It is
NOT legal to import Cuban coins dated 1963 or later. (And if it was
legal to have a few 1970 Cuban centavos in BU, I would have
them ...).

Hopefully, Obama's administration will end this embarassing archaic policy.
On one hand, we accept dialog with countries like North Korea, Burma, Iran,
etc. while on the other we still treat Cuba like the plague after fifty
years, largely because of its "human rights" failures. A quarter of the
countries in the UN probably have comparable human rights records. As far
as I know, modern North Korean and Iranian currency is legal to own here. A
potential six figure fine and imprisonment for buying a Cuban cigar? I
wonder what the penalty is for getting caught with that 1970 Cuban 20
centavos?

And lets not forget our dear friends in Saudi Arabia, one of the most
despotic and repressive governments on earth.

As Obama is a smoker expect Cuban products to become legal for Americans to
buy very soon after he takes office. :-) Billy

After the Castros die, we'll probably occupy Cuba.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if it isn't ultimately a petitioned annexation
by their rightful government (a-la Texas).
