March was not a particularly fruitful one for pennies; so it took me until today to reach the 291,000 penny plateau.
While pennies were hard to come by, dimes and quarters were abundant (over 300 of each denomination). Also picked up a 10,000 Won (Korea) bill and a 10,000 Dong (Vietnam) bill.
The Won exchange rate to the dollar makes it worth about $10.
The Dong exchange rate is considerably less. Ho Chi Minh is on the Dong note--as he was on the N. Viet bills I obtained during my tour of duty there in 1967-1968. The quality of the paper, however, is considerably improved and Ho presents a much more benign image now.
