TL;DR
Exchange USD at Gold Coast mall or Sokrovishcha Angkora exchange office for competitive rates. Old dollar bills are accepted. UnionPay cards are a viable alternative to cash exchange.
One user suggests trying small eateries/stalls with a handwritten cardboard sign saying "currency exchange" — these informal spots also offer exchange, in addition to larger offices like Sokrovishcha Angkora.
The exchange office at Gold Coast mall (near the escalator to Lotte) offers slightly better USD to VND rates than Sokrovishcha Angkora — the difference is small but worth noting.
Sokrovishcha Angkora is a well-known currency exchange point in Nha Trang offering good USD to VND rates.
Old or worn US dollar bills are accepted at Nha Trang exchange offices — no need to worry about the condition or series of your notes.
Kazakhstani tenge is not widely exchanged in Nha Trang — it's best to convert tenge to USD before arrival, then exchange USD to VND locally.
