the American dollar is accepted everywhere at the rather stable rate of 4000 riels for a dollar (2008).The Thaï baht is accepted in the large cities and close to the border of Thailand, especially for the large sums.

In 2000, the emission of coins of 100, 200 and 500 riels was tried but they did not circulate and the experiment was abandoned.Before that, in 1994, coins of 50,100,200 and 500 riels had been emises.
