What you need to know about the currency Vietnamese dong
The dong is the official currency of Vietnam. Its symbol is ₫. The origin of the currency has two different dates: 1946 in North Vietnam and 1953 in the South. Subsequently, in 1978, the country was unified and adopted the dong as its currency. It is managed by the State Bank of Vietnam.
Currently, the dongs in the form of banknotes in Vietnam are 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 50000, 100000, 200000, and 500000 VND. All those issued from 2003 onwards are polymer, with a plastic texture, while the older ones are made of paper.
The dong is divided into 10 hao or 100 xu. Currently, the dong coins are 1, 2, and 4 hao, and 200, 500, 1000, 2000, and 5000 dong. On all the obverses, the emblem of Vietnam is displayed, while the reverse indicates the year of minting and the official name of the country.
Nowadays, the Vietnamese dong is one of the least valuable currencies in the world. Due to inflation, the reunification of the country, and multiple wars, physical currency fell out of use in the 1980s. To this day, it still suffers the consequences of these events.
The State Bank of Vietnam no longer issues new currencies, only banknotes. Therefore, in the history of the country, there have only been two series of currencies: the one from 1978 and the one from 2003. However, commemorative editions are issued occasionally.

Will I be charged a commission for changing my Australian dollars into Vietnamese dong?
No, Global Exchange does not charge any commissions or fees for exchanging Australian dollars to Vietnamese dongs. All transactions (at the offices or online) worth AUD 1,000 or above are fee-free. We only have a small margin, which is lower when you change your currency online than when you change it in person at the airport.
Do I get the same Australian dollar to Vietnamese dong exchange rate in this website or in any of your offices?
No, the Australian dollar to Vietnamese dongs exchange rate that applies to orders placed on the Global Exchange website in Australia is more advantageous to you than at the airport offices. This ensures you get the best exchange rates online. If you need more information or have any questions, please contact our contact form.
How will I be delivered the Vietnamese dong I ordered online?
After placing your Click & Collect order online, you can collect it from our offices at Sydney Airport. As well as getting the best exchange rate for your online exchange (more travel cash for the same price), this service saves you time and reduces anxiety, as you'll have the currency you need ready for your trip abroad.
Why does the Australian dollar to Vietnamese Dong exchange rate seem cheaper and more attractive in the Internet than in exchange businesses?
The Vietnamese dong exchange rates shown in Internet currency converters are for currency wholesalers (foreign exchange transactions for financial and international trade companies), not for the public. Those cheaper rates are for the foreign exchange, not for currency exchange operations in cash.
What is the difference between foreign exchange and currency exchange?
Foreign exchange (Forex, for short) is the market that establishes the value of the currencies in which international transactions will be performed, at a wholesale level. Currency exchange, on the other hand, is the market in which individual currencies are sold in retail on a certain price depending on demand. Currency exchange entails cash transactions, thus adding logistic costs, and therefore their exchange rates are somewhat “worse” than the Forex rates, which only move money between accounts.
What is the difference of changing my Australian dollars to Vietnamese dongs with you or at a bank?
Banks charge margins and commissions, and you will have to go twice: to order the money and to pick it up. At Global Exchange you can place your foreign currency order online and pick up your foreign currency order at the airport before boarding.
