Cambodia’s common legal currency is the Cambodian riel, symbol KHR, which is uniformly issued by the Central Bank of Cambodia. As early as 1863, the King of Cambodia entered into a treaty to use riel as the national legal tender.

The currency issued by Cambodia is called riel, with face values ??of 100 riel, 500 riel, 1,000 riel, 2,000 riel, 5,000 riel (not yet issued), 10,000 riel, and 20,000 riel. Riel, 50,000 Riel and 100,000 Riel. ?

In addition to the riel, the commonly used currency in Cambodia is the US dollar, and the exchange rate between the riel and the US dollar is still fixed. Usually one US dollar can be exchanged for four thousand riel. ?

Extended information

The initial series of banknotes were printed in France and issued in March 1995. What’s interesting is that the designs of these banknotes are all based on designs used on currency already issued in the 1950s and 1960s. The green 1,000-riel note is almost a replica of the red 5-riel note first launched in 1961. Likewise, the 2000 riel note is almost a replica of the blue 50 riel note, which was first introduced in 1956.

5000 Riel is a replica of 10 Riel in 1962. Another 1,000 riel is equivalent to 100 riel in 1956. 20,000 riel originated from 1 riel in 1956. 50,000 riel originated from 100 riel in 1963. 100,000 Riel, although not very obvious, is also derived from 500 Riel in 1956.
