The Lao Kip is the official currency of Laos. It is not usable or exchangeable outside the Lao PDR (Laos).

One old kip used to be divided into 100 At but as 1 new kip is worth so little (about 8,000 kips to 1 US dollar in 2013) the smallest banknote is 500 kips but even that has little purchasing power. Laos has no coins in circulation. Note denominations are 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 50000 and 100,000 kips.
