    One possibility is a Vietnamese restaurant (or shop) if there is one in their area

    I my area of London, I've seen signs in shops saying (Nigerian) 'Nairas accepted' so why not dongs in some Vietnamese establishments.

    You can't change VND to Sterling here or buy Dong outside Vietnam, sorry.

    Hey,

    My Girlfriend and I have just got back from SE Asia where we were working as volunteer teachers for a couple of months, we made the mistake of bringing back a reasonable quantity of Vietnamese Dong though (with the expectation that we could change them to Stirling in the Post Office) only to find that it's not possible.

    Does anyone know of anywhere in the UK that will buy Vietnamese Dong at a reasonable rate? Any help on this would be much appreciated!

    Many thanks,

    Adam.

  • I saw your message and wondered if you still have the currency. I have a couple of friends who are going soon and I would like to buy £25 worth to give as a present. Do you still have the money?
    Thank you.

    I can't help wondering what the poster who resurrected this thread had to search for to find this thread...:rotfl:

  • I have 62,500 VND which is worth £2 after coming back from a trip from Vietnam.

    Who would like the money for £1? To cover the cost of the P&P basically. I will send the money through the post. When you get it bank transfer me £1.

    Any takers?
