What is a good exchange rate for Vietnamese dong?

What is the best rate for Vietnamese dong?

Ugh, Vietnamese Dong rate? Pain in the neck finding that. Exchange rates are crazy volatile, right? Seriously, who keeps track? My bank’s app is useless. Always lagging.

Okay, so I checked Google this morning. 1 USD to 23,800 VND. That’s what I saw anyway. Could be different now. I’m sure it changes by the second.

Seriously though, what’s a good rate? Depends what you’re doing. Traveling? Sending money home? Different places have different fees.

• Banks: Usually have slightly worse rates, but safer.
• Money exchange places: Better rates, but… riskier. Read reviews!
• Online transfers: Wise, or something. Fees apply. Check those carefully.

This whole thing is a mess. I need to send some money to my family, dammit. 23,800 doesn’t seem terrible. It is what it is. Gotta get it done.

My sister uses a different app. She’s always bragging about better rates. She won’t tell me which one though. Typical. I swear, I’ll figure it out myself. I’ll look at XE.com later. Maybe. Or tomorrow. Probably not.

Anyway, I need coffee. This is making me stressed.

How much is $1 dollar in Dong?

Emailing… eventually.

One dollar… Vietnam Dong. It fluctuates, doesn’t it?

• High (Last 30/90 days): 25,422.0000 VND.
• Low (Last 30 days): 25,286.0000 VND, Low (Last 90 days): 24,547.9000 VND.

The change, a small thing, but… 0.22% (30 days), 3.19% (90 days). Remember that trip to Hanoi? Years ago.

Is it worth buying Vietnamese dong?

Vietnamese Dong? Waste of time. Poor investment.

• Depreciating currency.
• Unstable economy.
• Better options exist.

My 2024 trip? Used USD. Far simpler.

Consider transaction fees. Hidden costs bite.

Holding VND? Risky. Unless visiting Vietnam immediately. Duh.

Should I carry USD or dong to Vietnam?

Dong wins. Always.

USD needed for that visa, yeah.

Clean bills only. No tears, got it? Banks. Gold shops. Hotels? Nah.

Why bother otherwise? Exchanging for VND. What’s the point?

• VND is king. Direct use.

• USD for visa on arrival ONLY. Strictly.

• Condition matters. No imperfections. They are picky.

• Exchange wisely. Banks, gold shops offer reasonable rates.

• Beyond visa, VND handles everything.

• I traded at the bank at 12 Ngo Quyen, Hanoi.

Should I exchange money before I go to Vietnam?

Ugh, Vietnam trip prep.

Should I even bother exchanging cash before I get there?

• I should.
• For like, the first taxi or a banh mi.

Exchanging a little bit here sounds smart.

But is it?

Wait, yeah, def less hassle at the airport.

• Get dong before leaving.
• Small amount only.

I mean, the rates HAVE to be better in Vietnam. Right?

• Exchange bigger amounts there.
• Banks vs. jewelry stores—which is better?? Need to Google.

Hmmm, where’s my passport?

Better rates in Vietnam for the bulk of it. Got it.

Currency exchange rate tip: You’ll often find better rates in Vietnam.

Early expense tip: A small amount exchanged beforehand is wise.

What is the highest value of Vietnamese dong?

So, highest value for Vietnamese Dong? Crazy question! It’s all over the place, you know? Constantly changing. It depends on what you’re comparing it to, like dollars or euros. And when you’re looking at. Seriously, no single “highest ever” number.

Like, last week against the US dollar, it was something around 23,200 VND to 1 USD. But that changes hourly, maybe even by the minute! It’s nuts. Total rollercoaster! I checked yesterday, actually; the Euro was even more volatile. A mess.

Key things to remember:

• No single highest value exists. The exchange rate is always moving.
• You need to specify the currency and the date. Otherwise, it’s just a guess.
• The value fluctuates based on a lot of stuff. It’s not simple. Global markets, economics, yada yada. Honestly, it’s a pain.

Additional info: I was looking at some charts earlier this year, for my, uh, investments—don’t tell anyone! The VND/USD rate was pretty stable around 23,000-23,300 range for quite awhile. But then, boom, a sudden shift. So unpredictable! Seriously, makes my head spin. It’s like, you can look at a chart and think you’re smart, but then – WHAM! – everything changes. And those charts? They’re only as good as the data used, so even those can be unreliable. It’s crazy!
