Etymology

"Tỷ" is the Vietnamese word for "billion", borrowed from Chinese "億" (yì, meaning hundred million/billion). "Đồng" is the native Vietnamese word for "coin" or "currency", adopted as the official name of Vietnamese currency in 1978.

Memory Aid

"Tỷ" sounds close to English "billion" in stress, and is used to describe large 9-digit amounts in Vietnamese currency. Remember: 1 tỷ = 1,000 million đồng.
