About Cambodian Riel
The Cambodian Riel (KHR) is the official currency of Cambodia but exists in an unusual dual-currency environment where the US Dollar is widely used alongside the riel for most large transactions. The riel was reintroduced in 1980 after the Khmer Rouge abolished currency entirely between 1975 and 1979 - one of only two instances in modern history where a national currency was completely abolished. The National Bank of Cambodia manages monetary policy. Cambodia's economy has grown rapidly, fuelled by garment exports, tourism, and construction.
About Kyrgyzstani Som
The Kyrgyzstani Som (KGS) has been the official currency of Kyrgyzstan since 1993, replacing the Soviet ruble following independence. The word "som" means "pure" in Kyrgyz and several other Turkic languages, historically referring to pure silver or gold. The National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic manages monetary policy with a managed float regime. Kyrgyzstan is a Central Asian country with a landlocked mountain economy dependent on gold mining (the Kumtor mine is one of Central Asia's largest), remittances from workers in Russia and Kazakhstan, agriculture, and some manufacturing.
