The former name of the euro was the "ECU," which stands for European Currency Unit. The ECU was a basket of currencies used by the European Community before the introduction of the euro in 1999. It served as a unit of account for the European Monetary System and was replaced by the euro when it was launched as the common currency for participating EU countries.

Before the euro was introduced in 1999, the primary currency used by many European countries was the European Currency Unit (ECU), which served as an accounting unit. However, the most widely used national currencies included the German mark (DM), French franc (FRF), Italian lira (ITL), and Spanish peseta (ESP), among others. The euro replaced these currencies in 2002 for cash transactions, while many countries transitioned to the euro for electronic transactions earlier.
It came from early Flemish or Low German daler, from German T(h)aler, short for Joachimsthaler, a coin from the silver mine of Joachimsthal (‘Joachim's valley’), now Jáchymov in the Czech Republic. The term was later applied to a coin used in the Spanish American colonies, which was also widely used in the British North American colonies at the time of the American Revolution, hence adopted as the name of the US monetary unit in the late 18th century.

I can only find dong as a monetary unit in Vietnam, not as a measurement. It may be slang. After further search, 1 dong is 3.78 grams.

dong (đồng). there was hào (0.1đ) and xu (0.01đ) before but they are no longer used due to their insignificant value. (1USD = 21000đ as of April 2013 and the smallest valued banknote is 200đ)
Yes. The Vietnamese Dong has a relatively stable value for a developing country. It just happens that the individual unit of the Dong is one of least valuable units. (It is around 21,500 Vietnamese Dong to the US Dollar.) However, most things in Vietnam cost multiples of 20,000 Dong, which is roughly the same as how in the US most things are priced in whole dollars.
According to my gf in Ecuador, she said 9 years ago. So, that being 1999
