Converting from Venezuelan Bolivar Fuerte (VEF) to Cambodia Riel (KHR)

What is Venezuelan Bolivar Fuerte (VEF)

The Venezuelan Bolivar Fuerte (VEF) was introduced in 2008, replacing the original Venezuelan Bolivar at a rate of 100 to 1. Its name translates to "strong bolivar," reflecting an effort to restore stability to the national currency amid hyperinflation. However, in recent years, Venezuela has faced extreme economic turmoil, resulting in a significant decline in the value of the bolivar. This led the Central Bank of Venezuela to issue a new currency called the Bolívar Soberano in 2018, which replaced the Bolivar Fuerte at a rate of 1:100,000.

The VEF is subdivided into 100 céntimos, but given the hyperinflation, coins and bills in higher denominations are rarely used in everyday transactions. The value of the VEF has fluctuated dramatically, and it’s important for anyone looking to convert VEF to be aware of the current exchange rates, which can change rapidly due to market conditions.

What is Cambodia Riel (KHR)

The Cambodia Riel (KHR) is the official currency of Cambodia. It was first introduced in 1980 and has undergone several changes since. Initially, the riel struggled to gain stability and acceptance, but over the years, the economy has improved, and the riel has become more widely used alongside the US dollar. In fact, in many transactions, especially in urban areas, the dollar is often used for convenience, though the riel is essential for everyday small purchases.

The Riel is subdivided into 100 sen, but due to its low value, transactions are typically rounded to the nearest riel. However, it's worth mentioning that due to inflation, banknotes of lower denominations are mostly obsolete, and you will often encounter higher-denomination notes.
