I'm in my third country and each one I've moved to so far, the amount of local currency to the $ has gone up as follows (using $'s as no GDP sign on computers here!)
Thai Baht - roughly 145 to the $
Cambodian Riel - 4000 to the $
Vietnamese Dong - 17500 to the $! As you can only take a maximum of 2m Dong (about 80 quid) out of an ATM at one time, you feel as if you are constantly handing over multiples of hundreds of thousands of notes and have to keep reminding yourself that it's not the equivalent in pounds!
Hope things become a bit saner on this front in Malaysia.
