Danish Krone to Vietnamese Dong

The Danish krone (international symbol: kr, code: DKK ,number: 208) is the official currency of Denmark effective since 1873.The crone is subdivided into 100 era coins. The banknotes issued since 1945 are still in circulation.

The Danish currency is pegged to the euro at a fixed exchange rate of 7.4 krones for 1 euro, which is supposed to be preserved until the country joins the Eurozone. The Danish currency is used for cash payments and non-cash transfers in Greenland. It is also in circulation on the Faroe Islands, at the exchange rate for local crowns of 1: 1.

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.
