Cambodia Banknotes Catalog
The history of banknotes in Cambodia reflects the political and economic changes the country has experienced over time. From the French colonial era to the present day, Cambodian currency has evolved significantly, offering a fascinating insight into the country's history.
Current banknotes in circulation
Currently, the official currency of Cambodia is the Cambodian riel. Banknotes in circulation include denominations of 100, 500, 1000, 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 50000 and 100000 riel. These banknotes feature images of ancient temples, such as Angkor Wat, and portraits of important historical figures, such as King Norodom Sihamoni. The design and security features of these banknotes have been updated several times to prevent counterfeiting.
Historical banknotes and notable events
During the Khmer Rouge regime (1975-1979), money was abolished and banknotes destroyed. After the fall of this regime, the riel was reintroduced in 1980. Prior to this, Cambodia used the Indochina franc during the French colonial period and subsequently issued its own riel-denominated banknotes from 1955. An important milestone in Cambodian notafilia was the introduction of polymer banknotes in 2002, starting with the 1000-riel denomination, which marked a significant advance in the durability and security of the currency.
