The Vietnamese Dong (VND) is the official currency of Vietnam, identified by the ISO 4217 code "VND" and numeric code 704. Its symbol is ₫, and amounts are typically formatted with 0 decimal places (e.g., ₫1.234.567).
In software development, currency codes are essential for e-commerce, financial applications, and internationalization. The JavaScript Intl.NumberFormat API supports formatting amounts in VND with locale-aware separators and symbols. Payment processors like Stripe and PayPal require ISO 4217 currency codes when processing transactions.
When building multi-currency applications, store amounts in the smallest unit (e.g., cents for USD) to avoid floating-point precision errors. Use the decimal places value (0) to correctly convert between major and minor units. APIs like exchangeratesapi.io and Open Exchange Rates provide real-time conversion rates for VND.
