Bermudian dollar to Vietnamese Dong

The Islands of Bermuda are part of the Great Britain territory, although they are located far away from the main United Kingdom’s territory. Here, there is a separate currency called the Bermudian dollar (sign BD$, code BMD). The Bermudian cents are used as change for BMD.

There are coins worth 10 and 50 cents that are issued as of today. The $ currency has been issued since 1970 replacing the Bermudian pound. Commemorative coins are of special interest for numismatists. So-called “Bermuda triangles” have a corresponding shape, but are made out of different alloys and have different denomination.

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.
