Description

The official currency of Vietnam is the Vietnamese Dong, represented by the currency code VND and the symbol ₫.
Prices are usually written with the currency symbol before the number, and thousands are separated by periods rather than commas. For example, 100,000 VND is commonly shown as ₫100.000.

Vietnamese Dong comes in both coins and banknotes, though coins are rarely used in daily transactions. Banknotes are the primary form of cash used by locals and travellers alike.

Can You Use Australian Dollars in Vietnam?
Australian travellers heading to Vietnam often wonder if they can use Aussie dollars in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, or Da Nang. In short, Australian dollars are not accepted for most purchases. While some hotels may accept AUD at a poor rate, it’s always better to convert to VND before you shop, dine, or take public transport. Withdrawing cash ahead of time ensures you’re ready with Vietnam’s official currency.
Where is the Vietnamese Dong Accepted
The Vietnamese Dong is used throughout Vietnam, from major cities like Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Hue to rural provinces and islands. Cash is essential in markets, local eateries, and smaller shops, though larger hotels and tourist attractions may accept cards. Make sure your travel wallet is prepared for plenty of VND to avoid inconvenience.

Buying Vietnamese Dong in Australia

Where is the best place to buy foreign currency in Australia?

If you’re heading to Vietnam, the smartest way to get ready is to buy Vietnamese Dong online or in store before you travel. You have three options to pick up the cash before you go:

  • Buy the currency online and either collect it in-store or have it delivered to you.
  • Collect from a currency exchange store.
  • Most expensively, buy the currency at the airport.

Comparing AUD to VND exchange rates and factoring in service or delivery fees ensures you get the best exchange rate and cheaper foreign cash. Many travellers take advantage of home delivery, click-and-collect, or Australia Post options to secure Vietnamese currency in advance, so you can start your trip with confidence and avoid costly airport exchanges. Whether using travel money cards, debit cards, or cash, planning your purchase of VND ahead of time is key to a smooth Vietnamese journey.
