Vietnamese Dong to Israeli Shekel

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.

The Israeli New Shekel, also known as simply the Israeli Shekel (symbol: ₪ codes: ILS and 376) is the currency of Israel. It was introduced in 1985, replacing the old shekel that had existed since the formation of the country. It is I circulation throughout the State of Israel and the Palestinian National Authority.

One shekel equals 100 agos. The modern Israeli currency is freely convertible, listed as CLS. The symbol, which depicts currency, is built of the two Hebrew letters - “shin” and “het”, and reads "shah.".
