Converting from Cambodia Riel (KHR) to Tonga Pa'ang (TOP)

What is Cambodia Riel (KHR)

The Cambodia Riel (KHR) is the official currency of Cambodia. It was initially introduced in 1953 and has undergone several changes since then. Despite its history, the U.S. dollar is often used more widely in daily transactions, particularly in urban areas and in the tourism sector. This has led to the Riel being somewhat underused, but it is still the legal tender of the country.

The Riel is subdivided into 100 centimes, although centimes are not commonly in circulation. Coins of Riel are in limited use, with denominations including 50, 100, 200, and 500 Riel. Banknotes are more prevalent, with common denominations being 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000, and 100,000 Riel.

The value of the Riel can fluctuate based on market conditions, exchange rates, and economic stability in Cambodia. The exchange rate is influenced by various factors, including trade balances, foreign investments, and tourism. As of recent data, the exchange rate typically hovers around KHR 4,000 to 4,500 per 1 USD.

What is Tonga Pa'ang (TOP)

The Tonga Pa'ang (TOP) is the official currency of the Kingdom of Tonga, a beautiful island nation in the South Pacific Ocean. The Pa'ang was introduced in 1980, replacing the Tongan dollar. It is subdivided into 100 seniti, although coins are less common in everyday transactions.

There are several denominations available for the Pa'ang, including banknotes of TOP 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100. Additionally, coins are available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 seniti. The Pa'ang is deeply tied to the country's economy, which is heavily reliant on agriculture, fishing, and tourism.

Like the Riel, the value of the Pa'ang can vary based on several economic factors. The exchange rate is also influenced by the global demand for Tongan exports, remittances from Tongans living abroad, and tourism income. As of the latest information, the exchange rate for TOP is around TOP 2.25 per 1 USD.
