User:Donald Trung/Vietnamese lạng

The lạng or lượng (Hán tự: 兩) was a currency unit in Vietnam larger than the tiền.

In French Indochina, the colonial administration standardised the tael (lạng) as 100 g, which is commonly used at food markets where many items typically weigh in the 100–900 g range. However, a different tael (called cây, lạng, or lượng) unit of 37.5 g is used for domestic transactions in gold. Real estate prices are often quoted in taels of gold rather than the local currency over concerns over monetary inflation.
