Banque Nationale du Viet-Nam, a file containing letters and cables between the National Bank of Vietnam, the American Banknote Company and Thomas de la Rue, all dated 1975, concerning technical data with regards to the printing of banknotes culminating in a group of obverse and reverse photographs of essays prepared for the National Bank of Vietnam in the denominations of 100,500,5000 and 10000 dong notes all with designs that were never adopted
(Pick unrecorded designs, Linzmayer unrecorded designs), a fascinating archival group with information not generally available to the public and a most useful insight into the processes involved in producing currency. Presumably also De la Rue subcontracted by the American Banknote Company to assist in printing
