Geocache Description:



Venezuelan Bolívar

The Dong (/ˈdɒŋ/; Vietnamese: [ɗôŋm]) (sign: ₫; code: VND) has been the currency of Vietnam since May 3, 1978. Issued by the State Bank of Vietnam, it is represented by the symbol "₫". Formerly, it was subdivided into 10 hào, which was further subdivided into 10 xu, neither of which is now used. The word đồng is from the term đồng tiền ("money"), a cognate of the Chinese tóng qián (Traditional Chinese: 銅錢; Simplified Chinese: 铜钱). The term refers to Chinese bronze coins used as currency during the dynastic periods of China and Vietnam. The term hào is a cognate of the Chinese háo (Chinese: 毫), meaning a tenth of a currency unit.



The cache is behind the Lowell Township Hall on a trail that they are in the process of developing; currently, it isn't graded very well so we recommend sturdy boots when looking for this cache. It works best to park in the south (upper) lot when getting the CCC caches that have been placed in this vicinity.


The theme for the 2015 Cold Cache Series is Foreign Currency. These caches will only be available from January 1st through March 31st. Get 'em while they're ho--err--COLD!
