About British Pound (£)
The British Pound Sterling (GBP, ISO 4217 code 826) is the official currency of the United Kingdom, issued by the Bank of England (est. 1694, the world's oldest continuously operating central bank). Subdivided into 100 pence (singular: penny). Banknotes: £5, £10, £20, £50 (the King Charles III series replacing Queen Elizabeth II portraits June 2024); coins: 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1, £2. GBP is the world's oldest currency still in continuous use (origins traced to 760 CE Anglo-Saxon silver penny). Also de facto used in the Crown Dependencies (Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man — which issue their own GBP-pegged notes), the British Overseas Territories (Gibraltar, Falklands, Saint Helena — also with locally issued GBP-pegged notes), and historically across the Sterling Area. The Bank of England targets 2% CPI inflation per the Bank of England Act 1998 + HMT remit letter. GBP is the world's 4th-largest reserve currency (~5% of global FX reserves per IMF COFER 2024).
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.).
