Yes, it is – google “Vietnamese dong pegged to us dollar” and you’ll find plenty of info

I’m having trouble with this statement as it appears to not be true: “The Vietnamese Dong is pegged to the US Dollar, so it stays consistently around 16,000 VND per USD.”

anyone know how to exchange Vietnamese money after they leave the country?

many banks aren’t taking my notes. other exchange websites aren’t taking my money either.

Out of all this searching i was found this site (www.unexchange.net), which seems promising if there’s no other alternative…

hey great article. was just wondering if you knew any pharmacies in saigon where you can get antidepressants over the counter? my bag got nicked and had most of my supply. i’ve tried a fair few pharmacies that i’ve come across but none seem to stock any (of effexor or its generic name anyway). thanks
