"BACK IN TIME": A JOURNEY THROUGH HISTORY AT THE VIETNAM CURRENCY EXHIBITION
Have you ever wondered how the banknotes in your wallet have "evolved" over thousands of years of history? If so, pack your bags and go now, as Saigon is opening a rare "window through time."
The final opportunity to touch a treasury of artifacts
The Vietnam Currency Exhibition at the State Bank of Vietnam is becoming a focal point for cultural enthusiasts. However, this journey is gradually drawing to a close. This is the ultimate time for you to participate before the exhibition officially ends by late April 2026.
- Time: Only takes place on weekends (Saturday & Sunday).
- Location: State Bank of Vietnam, Regional Branch 2 - No. 08 Vo Van Kiet, Nguyen Thai Binh Ward, District 1, HCMC.
- Note: You should register in advance via https://dangky.sbvkv2.vn/ to receive an invitation. You can still register directly at the check-in counter (for walk-in guests) and wait for your turn as instructed.
The discovery journey at No. 08 Vo Van Kiet is guided through 3 strategic zones, opening a panoramic view of the nation's financial flow:
- Zone A - Marks of Pride: The first touchpoint marking the glorious 80-year journey of the State Bank of Vietnam associated with national independence.
- Zone B - Flow of History: The "heart" of the exhibition featuring themes of coinage and paper money across various dynasties.
- Zone C - Digital Future: A spectacular conclusion with modern technological spaces and a vision of the financial future.
