Converting from Cayman Islands Dollar (KYD) to Cambodia Riel (KHR)

What is Cayman Islands Dollar (KYD)

The Cayman Islands Dollar (KYD) is the official currency of the Cayman Islands, a British Overseas Territory located in the Caribbean Sea. The KYD is abbreviated as "KYD" and is commonly represented with the symbol "＄" or "CI＄" to differentiate it from other dollar-denominated currencies.

One Cayman Islands Dollar is subdivided into 100 cents. The currency is known for its stability and is pegged to the US Dollar (USD) at a fixed exchange rate of approximately 1 KYD to 1.20 USD. This pegging has made the KYD a popular choice for banking and financial services in the region, attracting numerous expatriates and investors. The Cayman Islands, known for its favorable tax regime, has a robust financial sector, further enhancing the importance of the KYD in international transactions.

As of October 2023, the Cayman Islands dollar is available in banknotes of various denominations: ＄1, ＄5, ＄10, ＄20, ＄50, and ＄100. Coins are available in denominations of 1 cent, 5 cents, 10 cents, 25 cents, and ＄1. When converting KYD to other currencies, including the Cambodian Riel, it is crucial to check the current exchange rates, as they can fluctuate based on market conditions.

What is Cambodia Riel (KHR)

The Cambodia Riel (KHR) is the official currency of Cambodia, a Southeast Asian nation located on the Indochinese Peninsula. The currency is abbreviated as "KHR" and is symbolized by "៕" (the letter 'R' in the Khmer script).

The Riel was first introduced in 1980 but has faced instability over the years due to economic challenges and historical events in the region, including the Khmer Rouge regime. As a result, the US Dollar (USD) is also commonly used in Cambodia for many transactions, especially in urban areas and tourist destinations. The Riel is subdivided into 100 sen, but due to inflation and other factors, sen coins are rarely used.

The Cambodian government has made efforts to stabilize the Riel, including issuing higher-denomination banknotes. Currently, Riel notes come in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 1,000, 5,000, and 10,000 riel. When converting KHR to other currencies, including the Cayman Islands Dollar, it is vital to stay updated with the latest exchange rates, as they can vary based on market dynamics.
