Money Exchange
Exchanging currency when traveling is a valid concern. This Vietnam News Agency article shows what can happen if you are not careful. Many countries, including Se Asia and Vietnam, have different exchange rates for United States Dollars (USD) depending upon where you make your exchange. The official currency of Vietnam is the Vietnamese Dong. (VND) Currency can be easily exchanged in Vietnam in a variety of locations. 

Factors in USD to VND exchange rates.  

1.       One hundred dollar bills receive the best rates.
2.       Rate is determined by age of the bill.
3.       Rate is determined by the condition of the bill.

Always verify the exchange rate you will receive before you exchange your money. Exchange rates vary with location. For example, the daily exchange rate you read online may differ from the rate you are quoted at an airport, a bank, your hotel, a money exchange store, or a gold shop. 

Know the rate before you exchange your money. You should be shown the return amount of VND for your money on a calculator before monies are exchanged. VND is often pre-counted in packets of one million. Count your money at the counter before leaving. Be careful!

 Always verify, and agree to, your exchange rate before you hand over your cash.
