11 days ago, I did what I normally do and changed at one of the travel agents that are mixed in with the bus offices on Pham Ngu Lao (where Giant Ibis and Danh Danh stop). I got 24200 to the $ and the mid-rate that day was around 24350, that's not unreasonable.

Any of the money changers near larger markets or Ly Hour Exchange.

It's not clear if you want to change it in PP or Saigon.

"in Phnom Penh" seems pretty clear to me.

With such a tight spread of 0.006% here, that's $6 per $1000. You can't really better that. And as Cambodia is a $ economy I would imagine getting rid of Dong for $'s is a better trade here than in HCMC. I don't think you can spend $'s in Vietnam so the changers will need to bank what $'s they get or find someone to buy them. The changers here can spend them, pay their rent, pay their wages etc.

I wonder what the rate is here for the reverse trade; from Dong for $'s? It might not be such a tight spread. You might find getting rid of any unspent Dong should be done in HCMC rather than here.

From what I understand, a lot of Vietnamese see US$ as a commodity like gold, a safe place to store your wealth, so the changers there have a market.

I think you have a good point.

Hotels are usually more than happy to accept Dollars in Vietnam.
