About Vietnamese Dong Exchange
The Vietnamese Dong (VND) is the official currency of Vietnam, issued by the State Bank of Vietnam and used throughout the country for everyday transactions. We accept all denominations of Vietnamese Dong banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.
Current Vietnamese Dong Banknotes
Vietnam’s current banknotes are printed on polymer and are known for their durability and vibrant designs, featuring imagery of Vietnamese landscapes and historical figures. The range covers a variety of denominations, with the higher-value notes — such as the 200,000 and 500,000 Dong — being the ones most commonly brought back by UK travellers. We accept all current polymer banknotes regardless of denomination, so whether you have a handful of smaller notes or a stack of the larger ones, we can exchange the lot.
Old Series & Damaged Notes
Unlike most high street exchanges, we also accept older cotton-paper Vietnamese Dong banknotes that predate Vietnam’s switch to polymer. These withdrawn notes are rarely accepted elsewhere in the UK — most banks will not touch them — but we treat them just as we do other exotic withdrawn currencies, such as Lao Kip or Indonesian Rupiah. Damaged notes are also accepted provided they are at least 50% intact; the rate for old or damaged notes will be slightly lower than for current polymer series.
Vietnamese Dong Coins
We accept Vietnamese Dong coins, including denominations such as the 5,000 and 2,000 Dong pieces. Coins attract a slightly lower exchange rate than banknotes due to handling costs, but unlike most UK currency exchange services, we won’t turn you away simply because you’ve come home with a pocketful of change.
