App or website to calculate change in Cambodian riel and US dollars
Here in Cambodia there's a fairly unique two-currency system in use, and it often gets really confusing to work out if you're getting the correct change.
The local currency is the Cambodian riel and the de facto currency is the US dollar.
There are no US coins here. In common street transactions USD $1 is equal to KHR 4,000. (Though at a money changer it's more like 4,100 riel to the dollar, it's not relevant for this question.)
So very often riel notes are used as the equivalent to coins and you have to do some tricky mental arithmetic to calculate what your change should be.
- You might be given a price in dollars and cents, in dollars and riels, or just in riels.
- You might receive your change in dollars and riels, or just in riels.
So I'm looking for an app or website that can do these calculations for me, more reliably than my poor little brain.

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.

The US dollar is the main currency in Cambodia but the Cambodian Riel is becoming more widely used. Prices in hotels, shops and restaurants are now usually quoted in US dollars and Riel. Change of less than $10 will generally be given in Riel at a rate of around 4000 Riels/US$1.What type of money do they use in Cambodia What is the conversion between that and US dollars?
The US dollar is Cambodia's unofficial second currency, but that's starting to change. The official currency in Cambodia, the Cambodian riel, trades at around 4,000 riel to the US dollar.

Answer 2
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!

Yes, no coins around and KHRs may be the change if you pay in $ (US Dollars).
