    The problem with the $100 , is the large demonetization most Cambodian retailers can’t change that much , also their is a possibility of counterfeit currency , with US $100,
    Also the Cambodian government declared that all banks must accept US currency as per the note , even if damaged , which in the past was a problem Damaged US notes,

      @PeterC245 That's useful information. When I visited Siem Reap 2 years ago, some retailers and notably the tuk tuk drivers wouldn't accept crumpled or worn notes. Thanks for watching the video and commenting 🙂🙂🙂

      Yeah they changed the law because the banks used to charge vendors a fee for depositing wrinkled notes. Now the banks cant charge the vendor, as a result of that, anything is acceptable. Last year before the change I had difficulty with the tinniest crease or wrinkle, but now I have zero problems. Not once denied.

      @Mikeycambovideos it good that this law is in place, otherwise used notes would lose their value. I had some used notes that some vendors wouldn't accept. The ones that did accept gave me a lower exchange rate. Thanks for the information and watching the video 🙂 🙂🙂

    Stick to the Riels when you stay in Cambodia. Dollars are only good if you want to save for longer times, doesn't lose value as the local currency. ABA bank ATMs are legit.
