Can 盾 be also used for money/currency unit (such as Indonesian rupiah, Vietnamese dong, Dutch gulden, etc) (for example 一千盾 = 1000 money unit)?

Yes, the character 盾 (dun4) can be used as a currency unit in some contexts. For example, 一千盾 (yi1 qian1 dun4) could represent 1000 units of a particular currency. We have edited the translation to reflect this meaning:

盾 / 盾 [dun4] , (n) shield; shield-shaped object; (currency) (Dutch) guilder, (Indonesian) rupiah, (Vietnamese) dong
