Dollar strengthens against dong

Someone somewhere is proud of that headline
They're probanly treating themselves to lunch at
I've been holding onto this picture since 2020 
Hold on, there is somebody at the door.
Worth it!
Hehehe... Dollar...
Not that anyone cares, but I used to work painting cars for a used car lot next to this actual place north of Atlanta Georgia. I can't believe I found the sign in an image search.
Only men in nicer luxury cars showed up at this place, mostly older Asian men. I never saw anyone leaving carrying anything. Not items in hand, or a bag of any kind. It became something of a joke between myself and a few other people. I can't confirm nor deny this is the last visage of truth in advertising in America.
For me, it’s the other way around.
Gigity gigity.
As an official World News mod, I have to say that you should all be ashamed of yourselves.
^(Hehe.^ ^Dong.)^
I mean, I knew money is dirty, but damn.
It's over of the few countries where you can get off the plane, go to the ATM and withdraw a few million in cash. 1 million VND is about 40 USD.
I always wondered what's the point. You could divide the face value of every note by 1000 and it still would mean the same. A meal would cost 50 instead of 50,000.
The currency may have been 1:1 or 100:1 when it started.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
