The 1975 Riel series of Democratic Kampuchea is one of the most historically peculiar currency issues of the twentieth century — not because it was printed, but because it was never circulated. The Khmer Rouge abolished money entirely upon seizing Phnom Penh in April 1975, making this note a government-issued currency that functioned as currency for precisely no one. The National Bank was emptied and its staff dispersed.
Notes from this series eventually reached circulation in 1980, after the Vietnamese-backed People's Republic of Kampuchea briefly reintroduced the riel. The irony that Pol Pot's own banknotes outlived his regime to serve its successor is not lost on specialists.
