5000 Dollar Worth of a 2 Dollar Note Wooden Sculpture Believed to Bring Luck

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Out of curiosity I googled the red seal $2 note and found this:

A heavily circulated 1928 two dollar bill should cost around $5. A lightly circulated 1928 two dollar bill will never cost more than $20. You can buy an uncirculated 1928 $2 red seal graded by a third party for around $75.

The residue might be more valuable than the bill.
