/Sounds like 'FOO-lah'/
The US dollar in Cuban slang — the hard currency that unlocked access to things the Cuban peso couldn't buy. Fula comes from the English 'full' and became the everyday street word for dollars in Cuba's dual-currency economy.
"¿Tienes fula? En esa tienda solo aceptan dólares."
"Consiguió unas fulas del exterior y resolvió el mes. → Do you have dollars? At that store they only accept hard currency."
"He got some dollars from abroad and made it through the month."
