About Chinese Yuan (¥)
The Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY, ISO 4217 code 156, symbol ¥; also abbreviated RMB) is the official currency of the People's Republic of China, issued by the People's Bank of China (PBoC, est. 1948). 'Yuan' is the unit; 'Renminbi' is the currency's official name ('People's Currency'). Subdivided into 10 jiao or 100 fen. Banknotes: ¥1, ¥5, ¥10, ¥20, ¥50, ¥100 (Mao Zedong portrait on all denominations since 1999); coins: ¥0.10, ¥0.50, ¥1. Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan have separate currencies (HKD, MOP, TWD). CNY is a managed-float currency — PBoC sets a daily reference rate (the 'fix') against USD and allows ±2% intraday movement. CNY achieved Special Drawing Rights (SDR) inclusion October 2016 (10.92% weighting, replacing portions of EUR + GBP weight). CNY is the world's 5th-largest reserve currency (~2.4% of global FX reserves per IMF COFER 2024) but use is constrained by capital controls. PBoC's e-CNY (Digital Currency Electronic Payment, DC/EP) CBDC has the world's largest CBDC user base (~260M wallets).
About Cambodian Riel (៛)
The Cambodian Riel (KHR, ISO 4217 code 116, symbol ៛ or KHR) is the official currency of the Kingdom of Cambodia, issued by the National Bank of Cambodia (NBC, est. 1979 in its modern form, after the Khmer Rouge regime had abolished all money 1975-1979 — Cambodia operated without currency for four years, with all market transactions banned). Subdivided into 100 sen (no longer in circulation). Banknotes: ៛50, ៛100, ៛500, ៛1,000, ៛2,000, ៛5,000, ៛10,000, ៛20,000, ៛30,000 (rare commemorative), ៛50,000, ៛100,000 (the highest regular-circulation denomination; current series features King Norodom Sihamoni portrait and Cambodian temples — the Angkor Wat UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Banteay Srei temple, Royal Palace of Phnom Penh). Coins are not in active circulation. Cambodia is highly 'dollarized' — the US dollar circulates alongside KHR and is preferred for transactions above ~$5, with ~80-90% of bank deposits held in USD. The NBC has been actively pursuing 'de-dollarization' policies including the launch of the Bakong CBDC (October 2020 — one of the world's first national-level retail blockchain payment systems, in partnership with Soramitsu Co. Ltd.).
