I was just think about my trip through Laos about 20 years ago. I exchanged a few hundred USD and they gave me a HUGE wad of Kip. It really was like monopoly money.

I'm sure it is! All they do is make the denominations larger. 10k to 100k to 1m. It's that easy.

I went to Laos, decades ago. Wow, was that an interesting trip. The official exchange rate was a fraction of the black market rate, so after asking around I went to the market. At the gold shop, they also traded for USD.
It wasn't even a hush hush thing, it seemed pretty open.
I remember that they weren't thrilled with my 20 dollar bills. They wanted 50 or 100 dollar bills. And they HAD to be nice and clean.
