This note was never actually circulated. When the Khmer Rouge took Phnom Penh in April 1975, one of their first acts was the forced evacuation of the capital and the abolition of money entirely — a literal, violent elimination of the currency system. The National Bank of Cambodia was blown up in late 1975. Notes from this issue were printed but never released to the public, making every surviving example a remainder or a note that left the country through other means.
P#24 is among the more coherent printings of the Democratic Kampuchea series, yet it documents a banking institution that functioned for almost no time at all.
