Laos Kips is the currency of Laos and its Currency code (LAK). 1 LAK = 0.0001 USD, so it's pretty much worthless. However, the people of Laos seem to love their currency, as evidenced by the fact that they have a whole bunch of different coins with different animals on them.The most popular coin in circulation is the 10 kip coin, which features a water buffalo on one side and a temple on the other. The 20 kip coin features an elephant, while the 50 kip coin has a picture of a stupa on it. There are also coins for 1, 2, 5 and 100 kips.So if you're ever in Laos and need to use some cash, make sure you have plenty of small bills handy because those big ones aren't going to do you any good!
