I've never been to Cuba myself, but an old trick I used to do when I travelled a lot was to take out money from an ATM. You usually have to pay a buck or two in fees, but the exchange rate is always spot on. Moneychangers always get you coming and going. (if you really feel the need to have cash on hand, most banks will change it for free if you tell them in advance)
