⚠ The #1 money scam · note-switching

The 500,000đ and 20,000đ notes are both blue.

The single most common rip-off: a quick swap, claiming you underpaid. Always check the number, not the color. Count notes aloud, one by one.

Drop 3 zeros, divide by 24 ≈ USD.

200,000 VND → 200 → ÷24 ≈ $8 (a nice dinner). One trick, and the dong stops being scary.
