History reference:
Riel is the national currency of Cambodia. Before the introduction of the riel, the Indo-Chinese piastre was the monetary unit in Cambodia, to which the countrys new money was equated. The Pol Pot re...gime was preparing to introduce its own banknotes, they were printed, but they did not have time to enter circulation. In the days of the Khmer Rouge (Kampuchea), rice was the de facto currency in the country. Money and the banking system (April 1975) as a whole were abolished. The origin of the term riel is debated, with some arguing that it comes from the Khmer word for small fish. Others say it comes from the high-silver Mexican real used by Malay, Chinese and Indian traders in the mid-19th century. This version of the riel remained in effect until 1975, when the Khmer Rouge took over the country and the money was abolished. After the 1979 invasion of Vietnam that drove out the Khmer Rouge, the second and current version of the riel was introduced in 1980 when the Central Bank was restored. With no money to replace new banknotes and the economy in decline, the government first had to distribute the money to the public.

History reference:
The Sri Lankan rupee is the currency of Sri Lanka. The country has been developing and developing the monetary unit all the time, the country had its own monetary system, many countries used the mone...y of this country. The intensive development of the country made it possible to bypass all the many countries. The country has a stable economy. The first currency of the country was a great success, a lot of money and labor was invested in the development and creation. The security features were strong, but the design had a poor quality feel. But nevertheless, the monetary unit began to be in demand outside the country. It is recommended to exchange money for the currency of Sri Lanka only at official institutions and exchange offices, usually located in Sri Lankan banks, the airport and large international hotels. Here we are talking not so much about the more favorable rate of the Sri Lankan rupee, but about the fact that when exchanging currency in official institutions, a special check is issued, according to which, when departing from Colombo at the airport bank, you can exchange Sri Lankan rupees at the official purchase rate.
