📖 History and Significance:
Between 2003 and 2006 the State Bank of Vietnam replaced its paper notes from 10,000 Dong upward with polymer banknotes printed on plastic substrate, making Vietnam one of the largest users of polymer currency in the world. The notes are tougher and harder to counterfeit than paper, which suits Vietnam’s humid climate and cash-heavy economy. All of them carry the portrait of Ho Chi Minh, the revolutionary leader who declared Vietnamese independence in 1945. Instead of a printed date, the year of printing is shown by the first two digits of the serial number — the notes in our photographs were printed in 2023 and 2025.

🎨 Design Details:
Each obverse shows Ho Chi Minh, the national emblem and “Cộng Hòa Xã Hội Chủ Nghĩa Việt Nam”, with a transparent window. The reverses show: on the 10,000 Dong (yellow-brown), an offshore oil platform in the Bạch Hổ (White Tiger) field, symbol of Vietnam’s energy industry; on the 20,000 Dong (blue), the 16th-century Japanese Covered Bridge (Chùa Cầu) in Hội An, a UNESCO World Heritage town; and on the 50,000 Dong (pink), Nghênh Lương Đình and Phu Văn Lâu pavilions by the Perfume River in Huế, the old imperial capital.

✅ Condition Guide:
UNC (Uncirculated). An Uncirculated note is in the same crisp state as when it left the printer: no folds, creases or handling marks, sharp corners and full original colour and sheen. Because we hold multiple quantities in inventory, the exact serial numbers will vary from the photographs. This condition guide represents our overall quality standard rather than the specific photographed note.
