Can I use RMB in Vietnam?

In Vietnam, unless it is a shop run by some overseas Chinese, RMB can be used in Chinatown, and Vietnamese dong can be used in other places.

1. Border tourist cities, such as Mang Street, can be used in some places. But try not to use it, because they know that you are from China and will charge more.

2. You can go to the gold shop and/or some private exchange points to change it into Vietnamese currency. Their exchange rate is a little lower than that of banks.

3. It is best to bring a card with UnionPay logo and withdraw Vietnamese currency directly from the ATM of China Bank in Vietnam. Of course, you can also withdraw Vietnamese currency from bank ATMs in Vietnam, but the instructions on the ATM need local people to help you understand (some bank ATMs in Vietnam are bilingual, so try to find such ATMs).

Advantages of Vietnamese dong:

First, anti-counterfeiting security is strong.

The base material used in this set of plastic banknotes is not ordinary plastic, but a high-tech fiber-free polymer. Its texture is close to that of banknote paper, and it is antistatic and copy-proof. The plastic substrate itself is the first effective anti-counterfeiting measure. In addition, more than ten advanced anti-counterfeiting technologies, such as color-changing ink, invisible numbers, laser labels, gratings, perspective printing, concave-convex printing and so on, are used in plastic banknotes. , effectively put an end to the breeding and proliferation of counterfeit banknotes. Vietnamese dong, equivalent to RMB 260 yuan, is a large denomination banknote, which naturally arouses the covet of counterfeit banknote groups, but it is technically difficult to make.

Second, it is moisture-proof, corrosion-resistant and clean.

Because the base material of the plastic banknote is a polymer without fibers and pores, the coating on the outside of the plastic banknote makes the plastic banknote not absorb water, oil, dust and corrosion, which improves the cleanliness.

Third, it is durable.

Plastic banknotes are tear-resistant, wear-resistant and extremely tough. It is understood that the circulation life of plastic banknotes is five times that of the original banknotes. Compared with the price difference of materials, the short-term cost of operation and the long-term income, plastic is used to print banknotes instead of materials, which greatly reduces the product cost.
