In the days of Czechoslovak socialism, Tuzex ("domestic export") was a network of stores in which foreign currencies or Tuzex vouchers (so-called vouchers) could be used to buy foreign, especially Western, goods that were not available in the normal network of stores. Czechoslovak crown currencies were not accepted. The shops were used to siphon off foreign currencies from the population.
