The official currency of Vietnam is the Vietnamese Dong. The dong has been the country’s official currency since 1978. While the dong can be subdivided, use of coins has declined dramatically and are generally no longer accepted outside of banks. Both North and South Vietnam used the dong, and the currency was united along with the two separate nations.

The first dong coins were minted in Germany, and were made of aluminum. The coins eventually lost all of their value, however, due to high inflation. The second dong began being produced in 2003 by the Mint of Finland. These coins were minted using nickel or brass clad steel.
