By the way, what were you able to do with your five pound notes? Could you just bring them into any bank and have them Exchanged? I had to do something similar when they changed the 500 yen coins in Japan. They didn't work in any of the 200 million vending machines, ticket machines ect so I had to take a bag of them to the bank and get all new ones. Also same deal with the 2000 yen notes now that I remember.
Yes, take them to any bank and change for new ones. Sometimes the banks would be a little funny if you either had too many or you didn't bank with them, but they would do it eventually. Pain in the arse if that is the only money you have when you touch down.
Finding somewhere to change the currency is not an issue, finding somewhere with a good rate is. I will check out Ly Hour as someone mentioned above but I don't fancy taking a 20% hit on an exchange rate as I would have to do with Acledagavinmac wrote:If only there were places in Phnom Penh a guy could go to in order to change one type of currency into another.ReasonstobefearfulP3 wrote: Oh well, looks like I will keep it until I go back.
If only there was a place in Phnom Penh where expats could converse and help each other out once in a while...
