In Cambodia, the people buy drinks or snacks from vending machines that use paper money, not coins. Coins are not used in Cambodia's modern economy.

But it's not always the case. Archaeological evidence suggests that the Khmer first used coins for trading purposes hundreds of years ago, and currencies from each era may tell the economy and the lives of the people during that period.

On August 12, 2020, the Cambodian Post and Telecommunication Ministry issued a set of stamps, the subject of which is: The coins ancient of period Khmer Angkor. Stamp includes 5 patterns and a block as shown.

The Kouprey (Bos sauveli) is a wild, forest-dwelling bovine species found mainly in northern Cambodia. The Kouprey became endangered animal due to uncontrolled hunting by locals and soldiers for meat, horns and skulls for use in traditional Chinese medicine and loss of habitat due to agriculture and logging activity.

The first conversation measures taken for the Kouprey were ordered by Prince Norodom Sihanouk in 1960, when he declared the Kouprey as the national animal of Cambodia, partly due to its mystique, gave it protected status and declared three major reserves for its conservation.

Although the conservation's efforts, the Kouprey population severely reduced in the last decades and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) listed it as critically endangered and possibly extinct.

Quote:
The Sangkum Reastr Niyum ("People's Socialist Community") was a political organization set up in 1955. The Sangkum party was established after Sihanouk abdicated from the throne in 1955 in favor of his father Norodom Suramarit, with the intention of concentrating on politics. The Sangkum retained control of the government of Cambodia throughout the first administration of Sihanouk, from 1955 to 1970.

To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Sangkum Reastr Niyum, this set, shows Prince Norodom Sihanouk, was issued on October 31, 1964:
