Vietnamese Dong? Anyone know about the "re-evaluation"?

I like pho

edit: honestly sounds like a scam but if its just 100 bucks I guess it is not that big of a loss. people spend more on lottery tickets so if you dont mind gambling away money then go for it.

When I was in Iraq, c.2005/2006, there were guys who would go to the bank every pay day and buy another 1 million dinar for about $700 bucks, because "the price of this currency is gonna shoot right up once they get free trade"
That's just what this reminds me of. Someone is trying for a cash grab before the supposed re-eval.
(They get your relatively stable currency, and you're left with a fistful of dong)
I'd say your most rational option is to wait and see with the money you were gifted.
