I am amazed how some wealthy locals still preferred to store cash in a house instead of bank. You could also earn neat interest at MFI.
I was told years ago that the top echelon had rooms full of $100 bills stacked up that got wet and went mouldy and were ruined. Luckily for them there was plenty more where that came from.
Haha, this is pretty funny
All is not lost, get a flight to the US and change it there, being back some mint ones, easy

Good point, many of those bills should still be redeemable. Just because nobody will take them here doesn't mean they still aren't legal tender. The Cambodian Riel that are still not completely fucked should be able to be changed too, but I wouldn't bet on that. I hope he hasn't gone and thrown them all out or burned the remains.beebo wrote:Haha, this is pretty funny

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.

Chicken, I'll buy them for 30 cents on the dollar to the family and give you 10 cents on the dollar for arranging it. Want to make a quick four grand?the chicken wrote:Only words of regret. Everything happens always if we are not careful. Losing too much

I would bet that if someone made them a nice offer to take that money off their hands and deal with it...they might accept it. Might be a lot easier than for them trying to get a visa.

You can’t retire temporarily. You either retire, semi-retire or in your case “stop work for a bit”.the chicken wrote:Tempting man.
