History reference:
The Vietnamese dong has been the national currency of the united Vietnam since 1978 and has been on the forex market to this day. In northern Vietnam, the dong appeared earlier - in 1947, in the Sout...h - a little later - in 1955 (also called "free dong"). In 1887, Vietnam became a colony of France, and from December 22, 1896, the French Indochina piastre was used as a currency in the country, which was equal to the silver Mexican peso and had 24.4935 g of pure silver. From May 1947, North Vietnam began issuing the dong of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. The exchange rate of piastre to dong was 1:1. But the piaster was used in parallel with the dong in North Vietnam until November 1954. South Vietnam on September 22, 1955 announced the cessation of the use of piastre as a currency and, a month later, on October 15, the issue of banknotes of the National Bank of Vietnam in dongs began. An interesting fact is that on a banknote of 200 Vietnamese dong in 1987, a Belarus tractor is depicted.

History reference:
BYN is strictly the national currency and is used for settlements only on the territory of the Republic of Belarus. At the beginning of 1992, Belarus was in a state of need to develop its own currenc...y, because. was included in the process of secession from the USSR and the formation of its own independent republic. While their own currency was being developed, coupons were issued, and a little later settlement tickets were exchanged at the rate for Soviet rubles. Since the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in July 1991, the countrys government has been working to create its own currency. The Presidium of the Supreme Council rejected the initial proposal to call it a thaler, so the countrys national currency is the Belarusian ruble. Often money in Belarus is called "bunnies". In 1992, an alternative to the Soviet ruble was a denomination of 1 ruble with the image of a hare. Hence the name came from. On all banknotes up to 100 rubles, various animals were depicted: bison, wolf, bear, etc., and on banknotes of higher denominations - architectural monuments.
