About Romanian Leu (lei)

The Romanian Leu (RON, ISO 4217 code 946, symbol lei; the plural of 'leu' meaning 'lion' in Romanian) is the official currency of Romania, issued by Banca Națională a României (BNR, est. 1880). Subdivided into 100 bani. Banknotes: 1 leu, 5 lei, 10 lei, 20 lei, 50 lei, 100 lei, 200 lei, 500 lei (the highest denomination; current polymer series introduced 2005 features Romanian historical figures — Nicolae Iorga, Aurel Vlaicu, Nicolae Grigorescu, Ion Luca Caragiale, Mihail Kogălniceanu, Lucian Blaga, Constantin Brâncuși, George Enescu); coins: 1 ban, 5 bani, 10 bani, 50 bani. Romania redenominated its currency on July 1, 2005 — 1 'new leu' (RON) = 10,000 old lei (ROL — ISO 946 reused) — reducing dramatically large nominal values that had resulted from 1990s inflation. Romania joined the EU in 2007 with a commitment to Euro adoption (originally targeted 2015, then 2019, then 2024, now indefinitely postponed beyond 2030). The BNR targets 2.5% CPI inflation ± 1 percentage point. Romania is the EU's 7th-most-populous country (~19 million) and the 12th-largest EU economy by GDP (~$380B).

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.).
