"Ho's book started with just illustrating and describing his collection but then he decided to greatly expand it with pieces from other collections and references. There are a few previously unpublished pieces. If you collect Vietnamese; French colonial; and Japan, Chinese, South Korea, Thailand and US military pieces used in Viet Nam, this will be a useful reference to you."

There is a representative collection of Imperial Viet Nam cash-style coins

A type set of French colonial coins and bank notes

A type set of Republic of Viet Nam, Democratic Republic of Viet Nam, and Socialist Republic of Viet Nam coins and notes

Some Republic of Viet Nam pattern notes, and one unissued Socialist Republic of Viet Nam note

Some non-circulating legal tender (NCLT) coins of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam.

Some "trade dollar" coins and French colonial silver rounds

Some Socialist Republic of Viet Nam foreign exchange certificates, high denomination bank checks, and bonds

Some United States military club tokens from the Vietnam War era.

United States, Japan, Chinese, South Korean, and Thailand military related currency from WWII to the Vietnam War era

There are also pictures of Tho in front of many places in Viet Nam which are on many of the pieces.

Tho is a collector of pieces with "100" on them, and he will print only 100 copies of this reference.
