National Bank of Kampuchea (NBK)
From 1975 to 1979, Cambodia was without a banking system because Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge regime instituted an “agrarian moneyless society” in which currency was abolished.
1975 Issues - These notes were printed in the winter of 1974-1975 and were briefly issued intermittently as the Khmer Rouge vacillated on the decision to abolish all currency.
Francais: Banque nationale du Cambodge (NBK)
De 1975 à 1979, le Cambodge n’a pas disposé de système bancaire, car le régime des Khmers rouges de Pol Pot avait instauré une « société agraire sans monnaie » dans laquelle la monnaie avait été abolie.
Émissions de 1975 : ces billets ont été imprimés durant l’hiver 1974-1975 et ont été brièvement mis en circulation de manière intermittente, alors que les Khmers rouges hésitaient quant à la décision d’abolir toute monnaie.
