Pakistani Rupee to Vietnamese Dong

The Pakistani rupee (sign ₨, code PKR) is the official currency of Pakistan. The Pakistani rupee could be changed with 100 pice. However, the production of coins ceased due to inflation.

It was issued in 1948 after a monetary reform which had removed the Indian rupee from the territory of Pakistan. The Indian currency had still been used for payment up until 1966. Portraits of cultural and political figures of the country are used to decorate the notes. The banknotes are stylized in natural hues: green, olive green and brown.

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.
