Vietnamese đồng

The Vietnamese dong, code VND, is the official currency of Vietnam. It is issued and managed by the State Bank of Vietnam, and is used for daily payments, salaries, bills, shopping, and business transactions across the country.

The common symbol is ₫. Due to past inflation, smaller denominations are rarely used in practical transactions today, while modern polymer notes are more widely used because they are more durable and harder to counterfeit.

When checking the VND exchange rate, it is important to look at the final amount received. PandaMoney shows the rate and fees before you confirm.

History of the Vietnamese đồng

The Vietnamese đồng (VND) has been used as the national currency of Vietnam following various economic and monetary changes throughout the 20th century. The name “đồng” has long been associated with Vietnam’s currency and remains the country’s official monetary unit today.

The State Bank of Vietnam is responsible for issuing and managing the VND. Over time, Vietnam has transitioned from multiple older paper currencies to a more modern system, where polymer banknotes are widely used due to their durability, cleanliness, and resistance to counterfeiting.

Today, the VND is the primary currency used in all domestic transactions in Vietnam. Its exchange rate is influenced by trade, inflation, monetary policy, and international market conditions.
