Converting from Eritrea Nakfa (ERN) to Vietnam Dong (VND)

What is Eritrea Nakfa (ERN)

The Eritrean Nakfa (ERN) is the official currency of Eritrea, a small country located in the Horn of Africa. Named after the Nakfa region, known for its historical significance, the currency was introduced in 1997, replacing the Ethiopian Birr at par. The symbol for Nakfa is "Nfk" or "Nkf," and it is subdivided into 100 cents.

The Nakfa is primarily used for domestic transactions and is mostly available in paper and coin forms. The strongest influence on its value comes from the country's economic landscape, which has been challenging due to factors such as political strife, military service requirements, and limited access to international markets. As such, the Nakfa may have a fluctuating exchange rate against major global currencies.

What is Vietnam Dong (VND)

The Vietnam Dong (VND) is the official currency of Vietnam, a country in Southeast Asia known for its rich culture and history. The Dong has undergone several changes since its introduction during the colonial period, and the current version was established in 1986, coinciding with the country's economic reforms.

The symbol for the Dong is "₫," and it is subdivided into 10 hào, although hào coins are no longer in regular use. The VND is also available in various denominations, both in coins and paper notes. As one of the lesser-valued currencies in the world, the Dong's exchange rates against major currencies like the US Dollar (USD) can show considerable variation. The Vietnamese government plays an active role in its valuation through monetary policy.
