"Tran Hung Dao Trip" to Vietnam for Tet 2004

January 15, 2004, to February 2, 2004

War Era First Day Covers (FDC's)

Even though my usual stamp collection objective is current millennium issues, I've thought that I might like to have items issued while I was in Viet Nam years ago. Those are primarily available for dealers in Sai Gon, so I bought the following, not-quite-complete group of South Vietnamese FDC's while we were there.

I also picked up a circa-1966 500-dong Tran Hung Dao note, which was the everyday currency when I was in Sai Gon back then.
