Vietnamese Currency
_____________________________________

The unit of Vietnamese currency is the Dong.  The most common bills available are the 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 10,000, 20,000, and 50,000 notes.  There are no coins.  One US dollar equals13,500 dong.  Banks accept travellers' checks with a 1% bank fee and credit cards with a  3% -4% bank charge.  Banks give a fair exchange rate, so there is no need to deal with street traders.  Remember that   US dollars in small denominations ($1-10) are accepted as payment nearly everywhere.

Note: The conversion is based on 1U.S dollar againts 13,500dong
