The tourist areas in Cambodia do take US dollars at least, places like Siem Reap will accept US dollars and return Riel change. The second section in the USD's purpose in also unclear.

Lebanon
I have lived in Lebanon for over a year and can confirm that the USD is accepted, at a standard exchange rate of 1 USD = 1500 LBP, almost universally throughout the country. It is even available at most ATMs. --

Regarding my edit "The following break-away territories have the Russian Ruble as their de facto currency" which you reverted to"The following have the Russian ruble as their de facto currency:" The original text strongly suggests that Abkhazia and South Ossetia are countries. This suggestion is certainly not a neutral one, and I believe that Break-away territories conveys the disputed legal status of these regions without taking sides. (although as a matter of law, they are not countries. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_state#Recognition) I suggest you undo your revert of my edits. — Preceding

I don't see any implication that being on the list makes you a country. I think it is most NPOV when there are no modifiers in the opening sentence, but if it has to be modified, then I'd suggest: "The following disputed Georgian territories continue to use the Ruble as their de facto currency" or something similar. As an alternative, a sentence explaining why it is the de facto currency (e.g. Zimbabwe) might be helpful as well. These "territories" are recognized by some as independent states, and therefore the "break-away" aspect of this might be better left to the articles on the territories themselves and not on their de facto currency. Also, please sign your entries with ~~~~ when posting here or on my talk page, so we know who's writing. Thank you.

it's worth mentioning that in Sinai peninsula, Egypt, the Israeli Shekel and US Dollar are being used all the time. Is it appropriate for the article?
