Isla de la Juventud — formerly the Isle of Pines — operates as a special municipality of Cuba with a limited local coinage program largely disconnected from the national peso system. These pieces circulated within the island's internal economy and are seldom encountered outside collector circles, partly because the island's population hovers around 80,000 and distribution was correspondingly narrow.
