Yes, except for the hundreds of thousands of small business owners/ sellers who only use cash.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I useally change my dollars in riels at kandal market on 144 and was surprised lately i get several 100.000 overthere, but i always ask for tomtom, if not, you get a bunsh of 20.000 if you change 200 dollars . . .
They look indeed like the 10.000s, i useally keep them apart when i hit the darker watering holes. If the girls overthere see 100.000s they fall instantly in love with you !!

Old, torn Riel banknotes can be exchanged for new Riel banknotes for free on the occasion underlined the NBC, adding that the public is welcome to join the event free of charge.

Re: Riel Day 2023 to be Celebrated This Sunday
Those 100 Riel notes are annoyingly small in value. I'm sure I'm not alone in just chucking them all in a drawer until there's at least a few thousand of them. The recent introduction of the 200 Riel note should go some way to alleviating this issue.

I have yet to see a 200 Riel note. Or a 100,000 note for that matter. 100 Riel notes are used to pay at 7/11.John Bingham wrote: ↑Sun Apr 23, 2023 1:15 am Those 100 Riel notes are annoyingly small in value.
