Vietnam - P-124 - 2019 dated 500,000 Vietnamese Dong Polymer Note - Extremely Popular Foreign Paper Money

500,000 Dong. P-124o Polymer Note. The ??ng has been the currency of Vietnam since 3 May 1978. It is issued by the State Bank of Vietnam. The ??ng was also the currency of the predecessor states of North Vietnam and South Vietnam, having replaced the previously used French Indochinese piastre. Formerly, it was subdivided into 10 hào, which were further subdivided into 10 xu, neither of which are now used. The Vietnamese ??ng has increasingly moved towards exclusively using banknotes; as of 2012 the use of coins has decreased greatly, and since 2014 coins are generally not accepted in retail, but will still be accepted in some, but not all, banks. The Vietnamese ??ng is currently the third weakest circulating currency as of May 2021 (behind Venezuelan bolivar and Iranian rial), with one United States dollar equalling 23112.04 ??ng. After Vietnam was reunified, the ??ng was also unified, on 3 May 1978. One new ??ng equalled one Northern ??ng or 0.8 Southern "liberation" ??ng. On 14 September 1985, the ??ng was revalued, with the new ??ng worth 10 old ??ng. This started a cycle of chronic inflation that continued through much of the early 1990s.
