 VIETNAM, NEWS ANALYSIS, AUGUST 21, 1998
Dong reacted after he and some other VCP leaders received an open letter signed by 11 elderly communist revolutionaries charging some party officials of corrupt behavior.
The letter, now circulating in the underground press, appeals to Dong and others to pressure politburo member Pham The Duyet and Hanoi People's Committee Chairman Dinh Hanh to come clean by declaring all their land holdings and how they were obtained.
Although Dong is considered a "clean" leader, during his more than 30 years of premiership, corruption was living on in every branch of the party and his government and increased with more available resources after 1975, especially since the market economic reforms were introduced.

In some overseas Vietnamese-speaking communities, notably Vietnamese Americans, it is used to denote the local currency (USD) and one must refer to VND as đồng Việt Nam (Vietnamese đồng).
After the revaluation of the Romanian leu on 1 July 2005, the revaluation of the Mozambican metical on 1 July 2006, and the revaluation of the Zimbabwean dollar on 1 August 2006 [1], the đồng became the least valued currency unit.

The euro has appreciated 15 percent against the dong from the beginning of 2003, but a 10 percent hike in import tariffs and the rise in the price of oil have also been blamed for the price rise.
