Converting from Hungarian Forint (HUF) to Vietnam Dong (VND)

What is Hungarian Forint (HUF)

The Hungarian Forint (HUF) is the official currency of Hungary, a country located in central Europe. It was introduced in 1946, replacing the pengő, which had lost its value due to hyperinflation after World War II. The Forint is subdivided into 100 filler, although coins of filler are no longer in circulation.

The symbol for the Forint is Ft, and the currency code is HUF. It is managed by the National Bank of Hungary, which sets monetary policy and issues banknotes and coins. The Forint comes in various denominations, including banknotes of 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, and coins of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 Forints.

Hungary is known for its beautiful cities, rich history, and cultural heritage. As a member of the European Union since 2004, the Forint is notable because Hungary has not adopted the Euro (€) as its official currency, maintaining its unique monetary identity.

What is Vietnam Dong (VND)

The Vietnam Dong (VND) is the currency of Vietnam, a Southeast Asian country known for its stunning landscapes and vibrant culture. The Dong was introduced in 3 stages: the initial issuance in 3 different forms from 1946 to 1985, and the current version was introduced in 1985 amidst a series of economic reforms.

The symbol for the Dong is ₫, and the currency code is VND. The State Bank of Vietnam is responsible for issuing and managing the currency. The Dong is also subdivided into 10 hào, although hào coins are not commonly used today. The most widely circulated denominations of banknotes are 1,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000, 100,000, 200,000, and 500,000 Dong.

Inflation has significantly impacted the value of the Dong over the years, leading to high denomination banknotes. Despite this, Vietnam has experienced consistent economic growth, making the Dong an integral part of its financial landscape.
