Phonecards appeared in Vietnam in 1991, late comparing to other countries. A trial issue of two cards, both showing the Post & Telecom building, went on experimentally for two years, but then came officially the first public issues. The two cards, 10,000 printed each, have values of 30,000 VND (code 1VNTA) and 300,000 VND (code 1VNTB) and they were reprinted in 1993, with codes 2VTNA and 2VTNB.
