Political Currency

Reading Truitt and the discussion targeting Vietnamese currency from the very beginning, encouraged the willingness to look at and correlate it with the United States currency as well. Printed in the 1940's and early 1950's, Venerable Ho's money seemed to hold political market value within the currency itself (much like the United States currency). Ho Chi Minh is the portrait on the printed currency previously in Vietnam and much to the thought process, the United States also prints portraits of previous presidents on our paper currency as well. Leaning towards a more political history within the currency itself and the discussion between markets and state could also come into question when the state is printed onto the currency which circulates the market itself.
