Dong for 1,000 dong?

In modern-day Vietnam, because of the value of the currency is so small, one đồng could also be understood as one thousand đồng. - does this mean that many Vietnamese will say, for example, "250 dong" when they actually mean "250,000 dong"? Nik42 05:30, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

That would be my interpretation. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 05:53, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Usually, they would say 250 (without dong) when they mean 250,000 dong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.187.199.71 (talk) 20:17, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

Yes, exactly. though most people add the 000 , some people don't, the 000 is implied. (just spent 6 months in Vietnam) Divinity76 (talk) 18:17, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
