visavietnam.net.vn - Goat-related items are
being sought after in Vietnam as the Lunar Year of Goat is getting near.
One of the most
sought-after item in Vietnam is the gold-plated goat statues. Statues depict
three generations of goat standing together on mountain top -- a symbol that
will bring wealth, prosperity and success to the owners -- are considered
special item of the season.
The prices of the statues range from VND80 million to VND500 million, depending on the size.
To welcome the Lunar New
Year, the US Treasury has issued one-dollar-note "Lucky Money" with a
limited available amount of 88,888.
Meanwhile some
two-dollar-notes that are enhanced with holographic gold images of goat are
being sold at USD13.5 per note. Their price is doubled on Vietnamese websites
at USD27 per note. The wholesale price is also as high as USD22.5 per note.
One of the most favourite
items are the goat-shaped ornamental trees made on customers' orders. Other
zodiac animal-shaped trees are also favoured and sold at VND30 million
(USD1,400) each pair of animal.
