Are old dollars accepted in Vietnam and is there a difference in exchange rate?

There are no major problems with exchanging old dollar bills, those without a metallic security strip, in Vietnam at the moment. They are accepted for exchange at banks, exchange offices, jewelry stores, and travel agencies, we checked this personally. But the exchange rate for them is 300-500 dong lower per dollar, which is about 1.2-2% worse than for new bills. If you find a place that accepts both types of bills at the same rate, it is likely that the rate there is already lowered for new bills as well. However, it is very important that the condition of the bills is perfect: no creases, wear, or marks. Even if you fold such a bill just once in half and it gets a crease, they may refuse to accept it or accept it at an even lower rate.
