Hiệu Vàng Kim Hòa Minh

A gold shop that changes cash — standard practice in Vietnam and usually the best rate in town: a bank gives less, an airport counter gives far less. They take dollars and euros, and they inspect the notes: torn, creased or written-on bills may be refused or taken at a worse rate. Bring your passport, though they do not always ask.

Worth knowing. The rate is not posted — it is quoted once you show the amount, so ask before you take the money out, and feel free to compare with the shop next door: they sit close together. Roubles are usually not accepted here; for those look for a private changer.
