| Years before Americas involvement in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh's government supported its war effort by printing its own money in the jungle on printing presses they carried with them. This amazing 1946 5 Dong bank note is the first issue of Ho Chi Minh's government. Rarely seen even in Vietnam, very few survived for collectors. |
