Siem Reap Banks and
Money
Though
Cambodian riel (R) is the official currency, US dollars are used as
commonly used as riel.
Most tourist oriented businesses set their prices in US dollars.
Though the exchange rate varies over time, it has hovered near 4000R
to the dollar for several years and many small businesses treat
4000R as the de facto rate regardless of today’s exact exchange
rate.
All Cambodian currency is in the form of paper notes. Currently the
country does not employ coins. Notes range in denomination from
100-100,000 riel. 500, 1000, 2000, 5000 and 10,000 riel notes are
the most common and useful denominations.
When accepting US dollars in exchange or in change, inspect the
bills carefully. Marred riel is acceptable tender, but the tiniest
tear in a large US note renders it worthless in Cambodia.
