Talk:South Vietnamese đồng

Xu or Su?

Were both spellings used? Nik42 03:52, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Correct spelling in Vietnamese is "Xu", but the first coins of South Vietnam were minted in Paris and have French spelling "Su", which is incorrect. Pyvanet —Preceding comment was added at 06:07, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

National Liberation Front (Viet Cong) Issue

National Liberation Front (Viet Cong) banknotes are missing on this page. I wonder where is the proper location for these money...

You could have it be part of this article (in the Liberation Dong section) or create a new article, like in Vietnamese Wikipedia. DHN (talk) 07:32, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:100South Vietmanese đồng1966b.jpg

Image:100South Vietmanese đồng1966b.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Infobox

The infobox currently reports the coins and banknotes used through the lifetime of the first South Vietnamese đồng. However, it also states that the box reflects the status of the currency when it was withdrawn. This would normally be taken as the second đồng, which is what was previously recorded. Given the transitionary nature of the the second đồng, the change is somewhat understandable but, as things stand, the infobox is contradictory. Any solutions?

Well considering the liberation dong was the last issued, that should be the only one in the infobox. Enlil Ninlil (talk) 00:45, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

I must admit, cases like this make me wonder whether we could have two infoboxes or two parts, one for each incarnation. Otherwise, I'm with Enlil Ninlil.
Dove1950 (talk) 14:17, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok unless someone has a reason, I would like to change the infobox to the liberation dong, although I prefer the south dong. But this was the last issued for the south. Anyone object? Enlil Ninlil (talk) 08:06, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

South Vietnamese đồng ≠ Liberation đồng

The Liberation đồng was already issued in Việt Cộng-occupied territories before they nominally administered all of South Vietnam, these currencies bear the same name ("Copper") and were both nominally issued for the same territory, but the Republic of Vietnam ≠ The Republic of South Vietnam and the currencies they issued aren't the same. The best course of action would be writing a separate article for the "Liberation đồng" and split it from the "South Vietnamese đồng" article. Unfortunately, I don't have the sources to make this split. --Donald Trung (talk) 09:22, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
