Are old dollars accepted in Vietnam?

Yes, old dollars are accepted, but sometimes at a lower rate than new ones - approximately 300-500 dong per dollar lower (1.2-2% lower). The main condition is that the bills must be in perfect condition: without creases, wear, or marks.

Here's how the rate differs for different bills (comparison at one moment):

• New $100 bills - 25,500 dong
• Old $100 bills or new ones with signs of use - 25,200 dong
• Small bills $5-20 - 25,000 dong
• $1-2 bills - only 22,000 dong

If you are offered the same rate for old and new bills, it's likely that this place has an initially lower rate. It's better to look for another place to exchange.
