Cambodia is implementing a small-scale de-dollarization initiative to increase the use of its local currency, the riel, in daily transactions while reserving US dollars for larger payments. The country is phasing out smaller US dollar bills ($1, $2, and $5) to encourage merchants and consumers to use the riel for routine purchases. ATMs will now dispense only $100 bills, making small-dollar transactions impractical and pushing everyday currency circulation toward the riel.
