 Frequently Asked Question regarding to Cambodia

To you, these few extra riels they make are only a couple of cents, but spread that out over thousands and thousands of transactions during the course of a year and it adds up to a tidy sum of cash.
For purposes of giving change, many foreign-owned businesses value the riel at 4000 to the dollar regardless of the direction, but it's more common for Khmer-owned businesses to use the 4000 in/3900 out system, which, if you really get analytical about it, is cheating.
