While we're onto that, why don't we start a thread for when I reach 100 posts?
Opps. too late.

Aha... 900 posts in this thread now. Time for a guessing competition on when it gets to 1,000? I think thadocta should start this one.

ROFLMAO! Don't hold your breath waiting. :mrgreen:

There could also be a competition to pick when the 40 000th view of this thread takes place. Before this post it was 38 125.

Why not be a big spender and bet in Vietnamese Dongs?

You can rest easy ...

Here's where you can find 10 Dong: Viet Nam 10 Dong 1948

Or you can "go nuts": Vietnam - Banknotes.com - Image Gallery - Banknotes of Viet-Nam

Thanks serfty for the link. So to answer Yada Yada's question properly, a dong is about 15cm long, 8cm wide, but paper thin and etched in different colours.

LMAO! I must admit, when I was backpacking around Vietnam in the mid 90's, it took a while before I could mention the local currency with a straight face!
