Del Rossetto thank you 🙏
You mean like different notes, like every single other country? 1000vnd is the smallest note, about 4 US cents, the largest is 500k which is about $20 USD. you buy something, you will always get exact change in return. Nothing to be confused about.
You will only generally see 10,000d 20,000d 50,000d 100,000d & 500,000d notes.
Everything will be to the nearest 1000. And the rare times its like 79,400 they just round it.
Bloody nightmare the note’s are in Vietnam..Im in Cambodia now and they use the us dollar as well as there own currency..lot easier to use the dollar if you can..
Make a personal conversion chart. Thats what i did from the uk
I came over from Thailand after using bhat and found it hard to readjust to this money but after a few days you get use to it. No coins so saves the heavy change rattling about every where and tbh now Im use to it I’d rather not have to use coins again . Just check when you pay for something as when rushing about you can I think personally get mixed up still with 5000 , 2000 and 1000 notes the big boy nots are coloured differently but the little note i find can sometimes look the same but only if rushing around and getting flustered
1.00 USD=25000 vnd
Just imagine that instead of 5 cent coin, you have 5 cents note. That’s hơ the system work there, no coin doesn’t meant no small denominations.
Give change in notes!
