selling $100 bills

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.

Try to deposit them through a teller machine. That sometimes works.

The same happens in India. I know a couple of money changers in Bombay and Goa who knock off 2% the bank rate for any damaged bills £ or $ Surely somebody in the KOW does this ?

Use a strip of the glue section of rolling papers for the tears. Got pics of the others? - invisible to the naked

Go to Naga and deposit the bill into the bank of machines around the baccarat table. You can insert the bill, and then cash it out for a 100.00 voucher, and redeem it at the cashier.
