Re: Discussion to stop use if US $1, $2 and $5 notes
Yeah, we don't even use $2 in the states. I'm usually surprised on the rare occasion that I get one as change or something. You can go get them at the bank, though, if you really wanted one for a souvenir or something next time you visit. The only reason they keep them in print is because they say otherwise all of the older $2 would become worth more than $2. They should just ditch them, along with the useless and annoying penny, probably the nickel, and maybe even the dime.
Do you think the parents of baby boomers whined so much when the boomers started changing society? And yet the whiney ones like to call young people "snowflakes." Hmm...

Along with outdated things like Checks / Cheques. Who in their right mind would accept a bit of paper promising to give money when you take it to a bank, when you can get that money directly paid into your bank account using internet banking.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Alternatively give. 20,000 riel note and you are down to 3 riel notes.Username Taken wrote:If they give back 32,000 riel, that could be 4 notes (3 x 10,000 and 1 x 2,000)phuketrichard wrote: ↑Thu May 28, 2020 4:56 pm very stupid idea UNLESS their trying to get people off the $ to the riel
buy something for $2 and give them a $10 and u get back 32,000 +- reil
If they give back $8, that could be 4 notes (1 x $5 and 3 x $1)
Where's the problem?

The $2 bill with Jefferson on it is my second favorite. My favorite is the $3 with Clinton on it.
Re: Discussion to stop use if US $1, $2 and $5 notes
Whenever a Cambodian owns a 2$ bill he / she'll keep it for good luck. These hardly circulate in Cambodia.

Bring a bunch over next time. Good way to make Cambodian friends.

Yes cash. But a slight risk in that cash vs gold or silver. Depends on who backs the promissory debt note.Foreigner wrote: ↑Fri May 29, 2020 6:22 amthat's all that cash is too isn't it ?Duncan wrote: ↑Fri May 29, 2020 5:59 amElectric Earth wrote: ↑Fri May 29, 2020 5:49 amYeah, we don't even use $2 in the states.

Re: Discussion to stop use if US $1, $2 and $5 notes
I cant see why they would do this, unless they are running out. how do they get the US cash? is the US buying things by trading them for suitcases of $100 notes?
