The Khmer Rouge never controlled a functioning national economy after 1979, so these notes were not issued for general circulation in any conventional sense. Printed during the faction's final years of armed resistance from jungle strongholds along the Thai border, they circulated within a closed political-military zone — essentially internal scrip for a dying insurgency.
Pick R2 belongs to a series issued under the nominal authority of "Democratic Kampuchea," the regime's official name even after it had been stripped of UN recognition. The Thai baht remained the practical currency in Khmer Rouge-controlled territory throughout this period.
