How many Dongs to a Colon? Someone must know.

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.

I think I saw a movie once where it was 7 to 1. It had really awesome music

How I love this thread.

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?

I think the main concern with North Korea is their taepodong. The North Korean taepodong is rather large and scary, particularly to the Japanese. If the North Korean taepodong were actually to see use, it could cause great pain in the region, which might cause the dong itself to deflate.

some years ago on a trip to Vietnam I found myself accosted by border officials who confiscated my US dollars and replaced them with the local currency. When I tried to leave the country I was not permitted to take the leftover currency with me.

I guess you could say they forced me to take their dong and wouldn't let me take it out again.

I'm more concerned about North Korea's No-dong. It may force them to consider other package delivery options.

Vladimir, are you telling me that Kim Jong-un has No Dong?

I must say, I am concerned with the state of the dong, especially when considering the EU had to take such drastic measures against it.

Must be watched, or else the deflationary trend will make the dong a spent force, as some have pointed above.

As currency reserves continue to be ejected from the Dong, severe market contractions can be expected in Vietnam for the foreseable future, I fear.

Seeing the exchange rate dollar to dong makes me consider attending university in Vietnam rather than Philippines, so my us government flat rate housing allowance goes farther.

Wow! You little resurrectionist. This thread has lain fallow for more than a year....but you just can't keep the dong down, can you?

So has the Dong reached the safe haven of the Quim yet? Or is it still tied to the Colon?

Because of the inflationary measures taken, particularly through Quantitative Easing, it was hard for the dong to keep down.

And this thread has lain fallow for more than a year... but the dong had been up for the past 5 years.

Can we all agree that shorting the dong is a bad idea? Personally, I recommend going long on dong.

I wish to emphasize that dong necromancy is highly frowned upon. An old dong simply does not have the staying power of a new dong and is likely to disappoint those looking for satisfying entertainment.

The Vietnamese government has recently instituted a restrictive freedom-of-movement policy affecting Vietnamese citizens to mitigate the continual flow of the nation's dongs into foreign countries?

Dongs. Why do you ask?

I hold TEN MILLION DONGS in the palm of my hand.

Jealous?
