About US Dollar ($)
The US Dollar (USD, ISO 4217 code 840) is the official currency of the United States, issued by the Federal Reserve System (the US central bank, est. 1913). Subdivided into 100 cents. Banknotes circulate in $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 denominations; coins in 1¢ (penny), 5¢ (nickel), 10¢ (dime), 25¢ (quarter), 50¢, $1. USD is the world's primary reserve currency (~58% of global FX reserves per IMF COFER Q1 2024), the dominant currency in international trade (~88% of foreign-exchange transactions involve USD per BIS Triennial Survey 2022), and the unit of pricing for global commodities (oil, gold, copper, wheat). Also legal tender in Ecuador, El Salvador (alongside Bitcoin since 2021), Panama (alongside Balboa), Zimbabwe, East Timor, and a dozen Pacific island nations. The Federal Reserve targets 2% PCE inflation per its dual mandate (price stability + maximum employment) per the Federal Reserve Act + Humphrey-Hawkins Act 1978.
About Vietnamese Dong (₫)
The Vietnamese Đồng (VND, ISO 4217 code 704, symbol ₫; also written 'dong' in English) is the official currency of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, issued by the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV, est. 1951).

Banknotes: ₫500 (rare), ₫1,000, ₫2,000, ₫5,000, ₫10,000, ₫20,000, ₫50,000, ₫100,000, ₫200,000, ₫500,000 (the highest denomination Vietnamese banknote, polymer, featuring Hồ Chí Minh portrait on all denominations since 2003).
