		</div><p>Cuba has reportedly offered an unusual way of repaying a debt from the Cold War-era – in trademark rum.</p>
<p>Michal Zurovec, spokesman for the Czech finance ministry, said that Cuban authorities have proposed to pay back US $276 million (£222m) owed to his country from the time both nations were part of the communist bloc.</p>
<p>If the Czechs agree to the plan, it would mean the country would have enough Cuban rum for well over a century.</p>
<p>According to the Czech statistics office, the Czechs imported rum from Cuba worth over US $2 million (£6.4m) last year.</p>
<p>Zurovec says the Czechs would still prefer the debt was at least partly paid in cash.</p>
<p>It’s not the first time a country has offered to pay its debts in goods instead.</p>
<p>In the past, North Korea wanted to repay a US $10 million (£8m) debt with products made with ginseng.</p>
