- Vietnam’s official currency is the dong (VND).
The highest-value note is 500,000₫,
but it looks very similar to the 20,000₫ note, so be careful not to mix them up.
Other notes: 1,000₫, 2,000₫, 5,000₫, 10,000₫, 20,000₫, 50,000₫, 100,000₫, 200,000₫. - The easiest and most cost-effective way is to change your tugriks into US dollars (USD) while still in Mongolia, then change the dollars into dong (VND) in Vietnam.
- Choose a safe, reliable place to exchange money.
Airports, banks and official “Money Exchange” offices are the best options. Some hotel receptions also exchange currency. - In cities and tourist areas you can pay by Visa, MasterCard or UnionPay card.
However, small shops, markets and local restaurants sometimes accept cash only. - To check real exchange rates and convert amounts, you can use this website:
