If you have $100 in Communist Vietnam, you are a millionaire.

Would that be a Mill-dung-aire?

I note that Bloomberg currency exchange tool has 100 dungs to a cent. One Zimbabwe dollar does not even compute. A virtual zero.

ThanhPhero says the dung is actually 159 to a penny. Maybe Bloomberg thinks anything below 100 would make it virtually zero also. Perhaps no one in Vietnam uses dungs for currency. Who wants to carry around pockets full of dung anyway.

In Ecuador they use American greenbacks as official currency. They also have a "sucre", funny money that is worthless.
