Cambodia's highest-denomination note at the time of issue, the 100,000 Riel was printed by Oberthur in Rennes but almost never entered everyday commerce. By the mid-1990s, the Cambodian riel had been so thoroughly displaced by the US dollar in daily transactions — a dollarization driven by UNTAC's 1992–93 presence flooding the economy with foreign currency — that a note of this face value was effectively a store-of-value instrument for large institutional transfers rather than a retail denomination.
Watermark security only, no metallic thread. For a note of this value, that is a notably sparse security specification.
