Almost four years later, the rule hasn’t changed. My direct experience of these days and some recent references I read confirm the schema:
- 1000 KHR = 25 cents
- 2000 KHR = 50 cents
- 4000 KHR = 1 $
- 5000 KHR = 1,25 $
- 10000 KHR = 2,5 $
- 20000 KHR = 5 $
No app and no more is needed in this basic table of conversion!
Otherwise: https://www.google.com.kh/search?q=google+us+dollars+to+khr
Yes, no coins around and KHRs may be the change if you pay in $ (US Dollars).
I hacked up a basic version of such an app as a single-page of HTML with Javascript.
Then MeNoTalk came along and made it pretty!
When you edit any of the fields in the “price” or “paid” sections, all the other fields update. Not as you type but when you hit enter after editing. The bottom section tells you how much change you should get.
It’s doesn’t attempt to use any kind of official or true exchange rate between the two currencies that you would only find in a bank or money changers, just the usual de facto shopping rate of 4,000 riel to one dollar that you’ll find here everywhere.
You can get the “current version” straight from PasteBin or try it in JSFiddle. I’ve also put it up on GitHub as a gist so you can hack it and contribute your changes back.
Apparently Google can convert multiple currencies to one. In the example showed it sums 1 British Pound, 2 US Dolars, 10 Swiss Francs and 1000 Indian Rupees and converts it to Euros. But when I try to sum any currency with Cambodian Riels it doesn’t seem to work. Perhaps it’s a bug or I don’t know how to make Google understand what I wish.
