Circular #449/V2/KT, dated 17 May 68, containing the signature block of Than for T660 TOT, forwarded to various districts including N7, announces that the SVN currency was devaluated. To protect the property of the populace, T660 ordered addressees to motivate the populace to convert SVN currency into US dollars and sell rice to the VC revolution for US dollars. The exchange rates were one dollar for 150 SVN piasters, and one dollar would buy five kg of rice. T660 TOT will convert US dollars for the populace when required into an amount of VC currency worth five kg of rice. The US dollars mentioned are "green" dollars, not MFC dollars which will be of no value in the future.
