TL;DR
The discussions do not confirm a reliable place to buy USD or exchange imperfect notes. Reports mention refusals at Vincom Plaza and VinPlaza for older-series notes and even a small crease, so bring clean, newer bills without stamps where possible.
As of early October, there was no confirmed Nha Trang outlet for buying or selling investment gold coins; this is a separate service from ordinary currency exchange.
A VinPlaza exchange counter reportedly rejected a US-dollar note with a minor crease. Check bills for folds, stains, and other flaws before trying to exchange them in town.
There was no confirmation that US-dollar notes bearing a blue stamp or another marking are reliably accepted in Nha Trang. Do not rely on exchanging marked bills without checking with a specific counter first.
An exchange counter inside Vincom Plaza reportedly would not accept older US-dollar notes. Travelers with older-series bills should carry newer notes as backup or ask about acceptance before making the trip.
Travelers did not find a confirmed way to buy US dollars in Nha Trang: exchange counters in shopping malls said USD sales were unavailable. Do not treat mall exchange booths as a guaranteed option for purchasing dollars.
