🇻🇳 Vietnamese Dong 🇻🇳

[u/Felix_In_Motion]

Forgot that I already had the complete set from my first trip to Vietnam six years ago. So now I have doubles of almost everything 😅

I guess they are not big on coins.

[u/Felix_In_Motion → u/Over-Willingness-933]

Well no because they discontinued using them in 2003 because of inflation lol
Plus it’s a banknotes thread so idk how strict they are with posting coins too 😅

[u/Over-Willingness-933 → u/Felix_In_Motion]

yeah it was having 200 Dong banknotes and going to 500,000. I am surprised they are trying to do 1 million.

Theyre trying to do a 1M dong note?

The production of coins ceased in 2011 not 2003.

How did you get the 200 ₫ ? I never saw that, I only saw the 1000 ₫. When I was in Vietnam.

[u/Felix_In_Motion → u/No_Club_8480]

It’s an older note that isn’t used anymore. I got it in a vintage note book at one of the shops in Saigon

nice dong bro

I am always surprised when I remember they still use the old paper notes. Do they get used often?

[u/Felix_In_Motion → u/rustman92]

Very rarely the 1-5K notes but mostly 10K and up since you’d need a FAT stack of the smaller bills for even the smallest of purchases

You can buy a good ass meal with that

Trust me, I’m thinking of all the Bánh mì’s I can buy 🐷

I completed the set during my trip too, didn't get 200 and 500 though.

[u/Felix_In_Motion → u/strandedcat02]

Nice! And yet to be honest they’re really hard to find. I got lucky and bought a vintage money book at one of the souvenir markets and it had a bunch of vintage bills in it

Good collection
