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). Not subdivided in modern usage (the historical hào = 0.1 đồng and xu = 0.01 đồng are no longer in circulation). 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). The dong has been one of the world's lowest-value currencies for decades — typical exchange rates ₫24,000-25,500 per USD, requiring tourists to handle 'millionaire' wallets for routine purchases. SBV uses a managed-float regime with a daily reference rate against USD and a narrow trading band (±5% per 2024 widened from ±3%). Vietnam has been one of the world's fastest-growing economies (~6-7% GDP growth annually pre-COVID), with manufacturing benefiting from China-+1 supply-chain diversification.
