How many Dongs to a Colon? Someone must know.

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.

Re: Will the dong overtake the dollar?
Well, currently there's a roughly 1 Dong for every two Colons ratio.Originally Posted by InsaneApache

Re: Will the dong overtake the dollar?
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.

Re: Will the dong overtake the dollar?
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.

Re: Will the dong overtake the dollar?
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.

Re: Will the dong overtake the dollar?
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.

Re: Will the dong overtake the dollar?
I should stash all my assets in the colon, I guess. After all, it appears to be worth so much.

Re: Will the dong overtake the dollar?
Aye but don't forget to put a couple of Dongs with your Colon.
Hedge your bets.

Re: Will the dong overtake the dollar?
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.

Re: Will the dong overtake the dollar?
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?
Re: Will the dong overtake the dollar?
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.
Re: Will the dong overtake the dollar?
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.

Re: Will the dong overtake the dollar?
I'm more concerned about North Korea's No-dong. It may force them to consider other package delivery options.

Re: Will the dong overtake the dollar?
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.

Re: Will the dong overtake the dollar?
As currency reserves continue to be ejected from the Dong, severe market contractions can be expected in Vietnam for the foreseable future, I fear.
Re: Will the dong overtake the dollar?
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?

Re: Will the dong overtake the dollar?
So has the Dong reached the safe haven of the Quim yet? Or is it still tied to the Colon?

Re: Will the dong overtake the dollar?
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.

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

Re: Will the dong overtake the dollar?
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?
