    How many Dongs to a Colon? Someone must know.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Well, currently there's a roughly 1 Dong for every two Colons ratio.

    Thankyou for that. I admit I'm surprised, I'd have thought at least two Dongs to a Colon. Perhaps the Dong suffered from a bout of rampant inflation.

    I wonder if there's a way of achieving parity: One Dong to one Colon sounds more like it.

    Two Dongs to a single Colon would be a bit rough on the economy. It wouldn't leave much wiggle room for the lower classes.

    Well, I made a calculation earlier, but it really depends on which colon.

    I figured out that 1828 dongs fit a salvadoran colon, but I do not have the knowledge of the width and inflation that the costa rican colon suffers. So I cannot grasp the amount of dongs needed to fill that colon up.

    So. in essence what you're saying is that the colon is roughly nine times more voluminous than the dong,

    I must say, I'm surprised.

    I should stash all my assets in the colon, I guess. After all, it appears to be worth so much.

    Aye but don't forget to put a couple of Dongs with your Colon.

    Hedge your bets.

    My dong reserves are considerable so I'm ready for anything.

    I'd stay out of the colon if I were you; even thought it may be better for a tightening market.

    I want to know if the sudden change in North Korean leadership will have any pull on the dong, given that the won is a free-floating, soft currency, much like the more potent dong.

    If you look at a map carefully, you will see that the Korean peninsula thrusts and dangles southward toward the moist, wet tropics of Vietnam. Am I imagining a pull between the dong and the won?
