Re: New Bills Are in The Markets
They look great, I just wish they'd put some larger denomination bills out there. I rarely see anything larger than a 10,000 Riel, 20,000 aren't too uncommon but I've only once had a 100,000 Riel note. That's only about $25 for anyone who isn't aware of the exchange rate.

Indeed, for all the talk of dedolarizing the economy, having mostly small notes only helps perpetuate the Mickey Mouse status of the Riel in most consumers' minds.

Re: New Bills Are in The Markets
They should probably have moved to polymer notes especially given there are no coins (I'm assuming they're not; they don't look like they are).
At least the 5000 and 2000 won't look so similar any more.
