Scott, Did you perhaps get the balance to 2M VND in small increments so that the USD value of every transaction rounded to $0.00? That would have prevented the price from being recorded, resulting in the symptoms you describe. If you've been trying to use VND for several days you can look at the price database entries to see if any of the earlier transactions recorded prices.
