In 1947, he made the room, giving way to the sovereign currency of Vietnam – Dong, consisting respectively of ten how or hundreds of su. The value of the Dong coins Vietnam in the beginning were equal to the piastre. By the way, piastres, along with the dongs, went to the country until 1954.

Now to find and buy coins of Vietnam such dignity is not easy. In 2003 the government set in motion a new series of coins: 200, 500, 1000, 2000 and 5000 dongs.
