As I said, ABA would not take it. But I'll try again at ABA or ACLEDA in PP.

I had a slightly torn 100 that no one would take and the GF took it to a changer who took a $2 commission.

I never reported back on this, but ACLEDA Bank on Monivong is good for exchanging torn notes at full value.

A few years ago I had a few £20 notes with writing on them, about £2000 worth. ACLEDA would not exchange them. So I went to a money changer, he took them to ACLEDA, and they changed them no problem.
