Cambodia > General Information > Currency
Cambodia's currency is the Cambodian Riel (KHR).
USDs are very widely used in Cambodia and actually serve as a second currency. Bring small denominations and clean, undamaged notes with you, otherwise they will be refused.
There is usually no need to change money into KHR, since you will inevitably pay a lot of things in USD and receive change in KHR.
Traveller's Cheques are well accepted in Cambodia and can be cashed at money changers and most larger banks. Shop around for the best conditions and insist that you get small to medium denominations.
Credit cards are gaining in acceptance, but their use cannot be recommended for security and privacy reasons.
The below homepage offers real-time FX information as well as a currency conversion cheat sheet for all travellers who do not like to do mental arithmetic.
