Bahraini dinar to Vietnamese Dong

The Bahraini dinar (sign BD, code BHD) is the currency of Bahrain, used in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates for 8 years from 1966. Today, it is only used in circulation within Bahrain itself. Dinar’s coin is called fils.

One BHD equals 1000 fils. The currency has first been issued in 1966. Before that, Bahrain used the Gulf rupee for payment. The national central bank has undertaken the currency issuance since 2006. The rate of the national currency is connected to the American dollar.

The Vietnamese dong (sign ₫, code VND) is a currency used on the territory of Vietnam. One dong contains 100 xu or hào. When Vietnam was colonized by France, the country used the Indochinese piastres.

Only in 1947, the government managed to issue its own currency. Nevertheless, the Indochinese piastre was in circulation up to 1954. The name “dong” translates as bronze or copper. Since 2003, the country has been issuing notes of a new format made not out of paper, but out of synthetic polymer which can last longer, particularly in humid climates.
