CURRENCYEXCHANGE
 

       Currency: 1 new dong (D) = 100 xu

Bank notes currently in circulation are in denominations of 20d, 30d,
50d, 100d, 200d, 1,000d, 2,000d, 5,000d and 10,000d.

Notes under 200d have little value and are rarely used.

The U.S. dollar is more or less a second currency in Vietnam. Other
foreign currencies are not readily accepted.
A large supply of US$1, US$5 and US$10 are almost essential for
tipping, for small expenses and for hotel bills. U.S. money is so
common that change will frequently be given in dollars.

You may bring in an unlimited amount of foreign currency as long as
it is declared on the forms provided by customs officers. Foreign
currency can be exchanged for dong at your hotel or at the State
Bank of Vietnam.

Business Implications:
Foreign businesses in Vietnam use the US dollar (or other western
currency). The dong has remained relatively stable, but is only used
inside the country.
