Comments

The 1976 1 Đồng was part of the first unified currency issued after reunification, replacing both the South Vietnamese đồng and the North's own issue simultaneously — a monetary reset administered by decree rather than market transition. The north-south exchange rates set during the conversion were deeply asymmetric, effectively wiping out southern savings at a ratio that caused lasting resentment.

The "Printed: 30.04.1945" field in the source data is almost certainly a cataloging error — that date predates the State Bank of Vietnam's existence by years. The note was almost certainly produced in the mid-1970s, likely by a Soviet-bloc printer.
