Avoid and use US dollar notes in Cambodia?

In Cambodia, it is very strict on US dollar notes and this has recently made travelers feel frustrated because all old wrecked bills, bills with any marks or colors or even bills with any slight stamps are refused not to accept and you will be asked for other new bills instead, and they will advise you to exchange your bills at an exchange shop that the shop will cut interest depending on the conditions of your US dollar bills. However, you are strongly advised to withdraw US dollar cash from ATMs as well as exchange money when you’re in Cambodia (not at border crossing and airport port) and you need to make sure that all notes you received are new, clean and without any colors on. Most of super markets, mini marts, boutique shops, restaurants, hotels and pubs accept US dollar cash unless those are new ones.
