Converting from Cambodia Riel (KHR) to Mexican Peso (MXN)

What is Cambodia Riel (KHR)

The Cambodia Riel (KHR) is the official currency of Cambodia, a country located in Southeast Asia. The Riel was first introduced in 1953, shortly after Cambodia gained independence from France. The currency is symbolized by "៛" (this symbolizes the Riel), and it is subdivided into 100 sen. Despite having its own currency, the US Dollar (USD) is widely used in Cambodia for various transactions, especially in urban areas and for larger purchases. This dual currency system can sometimes make conversions challenging for travelers.

The Riel is issued and regulated by the National Bank of Cambodia, which aims to promote the stability and growth of the economy. As of now, the Riel is used primarily for smaller transactions such as buying snacks, local transportation, or market purchases. Its exchange rate against major currencies, including the Mexican Peso (MXN), fluctuates based on economic conditions, trade, and investments.

What is Mexican Peso (MXN)

The Mexican Peso (MXN) is the currency of Mexico, one of the largest economies in Latin America. The Peso has a long history, with its origins dating back to the Spanish dollar and later evolving into the modern currency known today. The symbol for the Peso is "＄", and it is often distinguished from other currencies by placing "MXN" after the dollar sign to indicate it is the Mexican currency. The Peso is subdivided into 100 centavos.

The Peso is issued by the Bank of Mexico (Banco de México), which oversees its value, circulation, and monetary policy. Due to Mexico's significant trade relations with the United States and other countries, the Peso's exchange rate varies considerably based on global economic conditions, oil prices, and international trade dynamics.
