Despite the currency exchange rate, Hãy chọn giá đúng hems significantly closer to the US version than many other international variants in tone and presentation.
US and Australian cues are used, including many of the 1976 Score Productions cues no longer used on the US version.
in 2004, the exchange rate was approximately 15,000 đồng to $1 USD. To make prices practical for most pricing games, retail prices of non-grocery products are rounded to the nearest “diem”, or thousand đồng. Contestants bid in thousands or millions of đồng.
