Converting from UAE Dirham (AED) to Cambodia Riel (KHR)

What is UAE Dirham (AED)

The UAE Dirham (AED) is the official currency of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is abbreviated as AED and is often represented by the symbol "د.إ". The Dirham is subdivided into 100 fils, making it easy to understand and use in everyday transactions.

The currency has been stable since its introduction in 1973, and its value is pegged to the US Dollar at a fixed rate of approximately ＄1 = 3.67 AED. This stability helps promote economic growth, making the UAE a key financial center in the Middle East. The central bank of the UAE manages the Dirham and is responsible for issuing banknotes and coins.

Banknotes are available in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 Dirhams, while coins come in 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 fils, and 1 Dirham. The design of the banknotes showcases significant national landmarks, cultural heritage, and influential individuals in UAE history.

What is Cambodia Riel (KHR)

The Cambodia Riel (KHR) is the official currency of Cambodia, introduced in 1980. It is symbolized as "៛" and is divided into 100 sen. The Riel serves as a vital part of the Cambodian economy, though it coexists with the US Dollar, which is widely used in everyday transactions.

Originally, the Riel was subject to high inflation and economic instability, particularly during the Khmer Rouge regime. However, the currency has seen improvements in value and stability in recent years due to Cambodia's rapid economic growth. The exchange rate can fluctuate, so it is crucial to check the current rate when making conversions.

Like the Dirham, the Riel is printed in banknotes of various denominations; popular banknote values include 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, and 50,000 Riel. Coins are less common, but 50, 100, 200, and 500 Riel coins do exist. The banknotes often feature images of Khmer culture and national heroes, reflecting the country's rich history.

Converting AED to KHR

When converting from UAE Dirham (AED) to Cambodia Riel (KHR), it is essential to know the current exchange rate. As of now, the rate fluctuates, so doing a quick online check or consulting your bank is recommended.

To convert AED to KHR, you can use the following formula:
