[edit] Merge or redirect proposal
- Either this should be merged, or should redirect, to Piastre, I think. 15:04, 20 December 2005 (UTC) Iinag
- Most certainly not, IMO. We've got articles for a lot of historic currencies, and are in fact trying to split articles which are about more than one currency... A merger would be contraproductive.

[edit] Vietnam's official currency before the piastre?
Does anyone know what Vietnam's official currency was before the piastre? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.141.194.155 (talk) 19:49, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, it was Vietnamese cash. In addition to those, they also had some small silver and gold bars, but those were not so much used in regulay every-day transactions, as far as I understand. There were also beautiful silver and gold (round) coins, but those were generally used as some kind of medals, rather than coins in the ordinary sense.

[edit] Changes to the table
I made some changes to the third column in the table at the bottom of the page. The third column describes the role of the piastre during its final phase, i.e. during the years of the puppet governments of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, prior to independence. The column used to have a "North Vietnam" and a "South Vietnam" section. However, Vietnam was divided into North and South only in 1954. For instance, the Northern cities of Hanoi an Haiphong were controlled by the French during 1946-54. Speaking of a separate "Northern" part of the country makes sense only in the case of the Viet Minh movement, which did issue its own currency. That currency, however, is a successor currency and thus belongs in the appropriate column: column 4 covers successor currencies. Alfons Åberg (talk) 17:23, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
