Vietnamese đồng: what each denomination is worth

The Vietnamese đồng’s largest current denomination is ₫/đ500,000, worth about $19.25: the 64th least valuable top note among the 150 circulating currencies we have verified, where the median is $27.18.

ATM commonly dispensed by cash machines

Bars are scaled to face value on a log scale, not to physical size. Shading indicates value: we have not verified this issuer’s colours. Converted at mid-market reference rates; what a counter pays is always less.

Getting cash

Vietnamese cash machines usually dispense 500,000 and 200,000 dong notes. Coins were minted in the 2000s but have effectively vanished from circulation, so everything is settled in notes. The higher denominations are polymer, and the 500,000 and 20,000 are similar enough in colour that they are worth checking twice.
