American Change?

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.

American Change?

Post by OrangeDragon »

A thought crossed my mind tonight... can you use US coin change in Cambodia? Has anyone ever tried?

I know it's not commonplace at all... but will places accept it? Lucky, tuktuks, etc?

That was free. I was buying a handful of Chinese coins for my daughter, while we were dickering over the price and how many I would buy, I was kind of rummaging through a box of 'silver' coins. I pulled out a few I thought looked interesting and, as we had pretty much arrived at a final price, I concluded by saying I agreed if I could have these few silver ones for free. She agreed.

Last silver was 64, except on the Kennedy 1/2 which was layered and had some only on the outside.

LTO's coin is from 1865.
