I have 5000 Cambodian riel

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

You'll have to bundle it up flat in bunches of 9, with a tenth note folded over to hold the stack. It works a lot better with the new notes. Then you are good to go.

Make yourself a Cambodian money tree and place it on display. Other people will add more money to it, so financially this will work out better than putting it in the bank or investing in bitcoins. It is also decorative and you can use it as a Xmas tree in December. Your neighbours will be impressed and no one will steal it because this is money for Buddha, but you can borrow some money from your tree without interest to buy beer on Sunday nights or when banks are closed, as long as you replace it of course.
