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.

The Jersey Pound is the currency of Jersey. The official languages of Jersey are English and French, since 2010 the denomination is indicated on banknotes in English (in pounds) and French (in livres...). The Jersey pound is pegged to the pound sterling at a ratio of 1:1. British coins are freely accepted on the island. Notes of the Bank of England, Scottish and Northern Irish banks, as well as Guernsey, while not being legal tender, can be accepted on the island. In the UK, the Jersey currency is not officially solvent, but Jersey money can be accepted for payment along with your own. All banknotes of the new series featured a portrait of Elizabeth II, and the image of a cow was used as a watermark. In 2012, in honor of the anniversary of the British Queen, a commemorative series of 100 pounds banknotes was issued. It was a limited edition, reflecting the historical events of the reign of Elizabeth. The front side of the banknote is decorated with a realistic full-face portrait of the Queen.
