Converting from Cambodia Riel (KHR) to Papua New Guinea Kina (PGK)

What is Cambodia Riel (KHR)

The Cambodia Riel (KHR) is the official currency of Cambodia. It is subdivided into 100 sen, although sen coins are rarely used in everyday transactions. The Riel was first introduced in 1953, and it has undergone various changes over the years due to economic fluctuations and periods of political instability.

Today, the Riel is primarily used in local markets and for smaller transactions, while the US dollar also plays a significant role in the Cambodian economy. As a result, many places will accept both Riel and US dollars, especially in tourist areas. The Riel's current exchange rates can fluctuate based on various economic factors, including inflation and trade balances. It’s useful to be aware of the conversion rates if you’re planning to travel to Cambodia or conduct transactions in Riel.
