المعنى
Changing currency at a bank or booth.
خلفية ثقافية
Gold shops (tiệm vàng) are often the preferred place for locals to exchange money due to better rates and lack of bureaucracy compared to banks. Before Tết, people flock to banks to 'đổi tiền mới' (exchange for new bills) to give as lucky money (lì xì). Crisp, new bills are a sign of respect and good luck. When exchanging money at a bank, you must present your passport. Banks are very strict about the physical condition of the bills; even a small tear can lead to rejection. In tourist areas like Hanoi's Old Quarter, many travel agencies also offer 'đổi tiền' services, making it very convenient for travelers who don't want to find a bank.
Check your bills
Always check that the bills you receive are not torn or too old, as you might have trouble spending them or 'đổi' them back later.
Avoid 'Chợ Đen'
While rates might look tempting, exchanging money with random people on the street (black market) is illegal and risky.
