In Vietnam I tried to get more, but I had visited so many banks already, and none had UNC notes so I stopped trying. Only one bank teller was kind enough to check for me and came up with some XF/aUNC/UNC low denom notes. In Cambodia, I already have some UNC notes I got from there last year, so I was good. The only one I think I didn't have was the 100,000 riel note. However, they don't have them in UNC condition anymore at the national bank of Cambodia, I checked. I don't really collect Thailand money, but these commemoratives were outstanding to me so I wanted to get some. Oh and I forgot, I was able to get this at an HSBC in Ho Chi Minh city:
I think it may have been easier if I would've been in Hanoi. I would've tried the State Bank of Vietnam there. Yes these low denom banknotes I posted are quite worthless, worth between 0.02$ and 0.09$. The 500 dong note I have not seen in circulation before I got it from the bank. The others, 1000 and 2000 are actually quite common to find in your change.
Yes I only collect UNC notes, unless you know, there are too few available because the note is so rare. For a note to have an appeal to me it has to be UNC.
