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.).
