The history of banknotes in Vietnam is fascinating and reflects the country's political and economic changes over time. From imperial times to the present day, Vietnamese currency has undergone various transformations, adapting to the needs of each historical period.
Old banknotes of the Empire of Vietnam
During the imperial period, Vietnam used a variety of coins and banknotes. In 1862, the French piastre de commerce was introduced, which circulated alongside traditional coins. In 1953, the National Bank of Vietnam issued the first banknotes denominated in đồng, gradually replacing the piastre. These old banknotes often featured traditional Vietnamese motifs and portraits of emperors, reflecting the country's rich culture and history.
Current banknotes in circulation
Modern Vietnamese banknotes are issued by the State Bank of Vietnam and are denominated in đồng. Current denominations range from 500 đồng to 500,000 đồng. These banknotes feature colorful designs that include important historical figures, such as Ho Chi Minh, and iconic landmarks of the country. An important milestone in Vietnamese notafilia was the introduction of polymer banknotes in 2003, starting with the 50,000 đồng denomination, which significantly improved the currency's durability and security.
