Vietnam; A bill of an Indian restaurant in Vietnam is going viral on social media, with Tawa bread 30,000, a cup of tea 65,000 and water bottle 50,000. People were stunned to see these huge prices, but the reality turned out to be something else. Actually, these prices are not in Indian rupees, but in Vietnamese currency dong, which is very weak compared to Indian rupees.
About 300 Vietnamese Dongs get in lieu of 1 rupee
Vietnam’s currency is considered the second weakest currency in the world. There are about 300 Vietnamese Dongs in lieu of 1 Indian rupee. This is the reason that the food bill is seen in millions there, but in reality it is very low in Indian rupee.
Millions spent in viral bills, but the real price is very low
The total bill of two people came to 8,72,000 Dong in an Indian restaurant in Hanoi city, which is only Rs 3,000 in Indian rupees.

Many currencies are weaker than Indian rupees
In March 2024, the Indian rupee recorded a strength of 2.5% against the dollar, the biggest monthly lead since 2018. On Friday, the rupee rose 32 paise to close at 85.47 per dollar. Although the rupee appears weak against the dollar, but the currency of many countries is more weak than the Indian rupee.
