In general, the visual identity of Cambodian coin changed all the time under the French rule. There were even the coins with holes in the middle at some point:

Spanish-American dollar (or peso) was also in wide use, just like in many other countries around the world in 19th century.

500 riel coin

Small coin of 10 sen. Subunits of riel are not currently used.

Left: souvenir coin with a dancing Apsara and kbach khmer ornament, 3000 riel. Right: possibly a pattern coin or even an unused design?

Riel in general is mostly used for small purchases, businesses in Cambodia will gladly accept US dollars without the need to exchange.

Four women have accused Oscar-winning actor and Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto of criminal sexual conduct, with the alleged offences having taken place when they were teenagers.

In total, 10 women have spoken to the BBC documentary - Jared Leto: Hollywood's Dark Secret - with nine of them sharing their stories publicly for the first time.

All the women say they encountered Leto between 2002 and 2016, when he was in his 30s and 40s. He is now 54.

"This was 25 years ago… he has gotten away with it," says one of his alleged victims.
