The Vietnamese Dong is issued by the State Bank of Vietnam and is one of the highest-numerical-value currencies travellers encounter. Typical leisure trip floats run into the millions of Dong. Notes are entirely polymer since 2003, in β«10,000, β«20,000, β«50,000, β«100,000, β«200,000 and β«500,000 denominations. The polymer substrate handles Vietnam's humidity better than paper would. All notes feature Ho Chi Minh on the obverse and Vietnamese landmarks on the reverse, PhΓΊ Quα»c and HαΊ‘ Long Bay among others. INR/VND runs at extremely small per-unit values, around βΉ0.00033 (so βΉ1 = roughly β«300) through 2024-2025.

VND Exchange FAQs
Everything you need to know about buying and selling Vietnamese Dong in Chennai
You can exchange Vietnamese Dong (VND) at Scope Forex, an RBI-licensed full-fledged money changer (FFMC) on Poonamallee High Road in Nerkundram, near Titan World and opposite Canara Bank. It is a short drive from Mogappair, Anna Nagar, Aminjikarai, Koyambedu, and Porur. Bring your passport for any foreign-currency transaction, and your PAN card for amounts above INR 50,000. Confirm the day's VND rate on WhatsApp at +91 93811 11767 before you visit, and the quote holds for 60 minutes.
Your Passport is the primary document for a foreign-currency transaction. For amounts above the equivalent of USD 3,000, or for outward remittance purposes, you will also need your confirmed air ticket for travel-purpose forex. PAN Card is required for all transactions above INR 50,000 as per RBI guidelines. A visa is not required to buy the currency itself; carry it only if your own travel needs it.
Carry VND. While USD is technically accepted at many Vietnamese tourist businesses and even quoted on some menus, the conversion applied at the till is whatever that business sets, and your change comes back in Dong at the same conversion. We recommend buying β«5,000,000-β«10,000,000 from us as your daily-spend cash, then topping up via ATM (Vietcombank and BIDV ATMs quote close to the market) using your forex card during the trip. Wherever you exchange, compare the final Dong figure you would receive rather than the headline board.
Vietnam completed its polymer conversion between 2003 and 2006. All current legal-tender VND are polymer. The old paper Dong notes (pre-2003 issues) are no longer accepted commercially, and we cannot exchange them in Chennai. The State Bank may still redeem some older issues at face value if you visit a Vietnamese branch, but for practical purposes only polymer notes circulate today.
We recommend a mix weighted toward β«100,000 and β«200,000 notes for most daily spending: meals, transport, market shopping. β«500,000 notes are useful for hotel deposits and bigger purchases but can be hard to break in pho stalls and tuk-tuks. Carry a few β«50,000 and β«20,000 notes for taxis and small purchases. Note that β«200,000 and β«500,000 look similar in colour (both red-orange tones), so count carefully when paying. We can structure the mix on request.
