The fact that this currency (Vietnam's Dong) has not revalued or reinstated is a mystery. I was unable to find on the U.N. WBO, IMF and/or our government websites that explains why the currency is not recognized around the globe. All the reading I've done the last three or four years it appears all sanctions have been lifted. Go to WTO website and it shows that Vietnam is a member in good standings. The war has been over for years. It appears that tourism is growing. There economy is growing! The governments attitude toward people that have spoken out against government is changing. Recently, an individual was released which was labeled as a dissident. Vietnam is building a oil refinery, they are drilling for oil and they have a large gold mine... With all this that is happening... There is no indication that the powers to be are pushing toward revaluing or reinstating this currency. On the flip side... If the currency was RV at 4 cents... Have to wonder if there is enough world currency or U.S. dollars to cover all the people around the globe that have hung on to this currency. Hope somebody has some facts (Not theories!) that can explain why the Dong has not RV or RI RC
