Be sure to carry some coins and notes of the local currency. The local currency is known as Dong. As soon as you land in Hanoi or any other city of Vietnam , be sure to exchange your dollar to buy some VND or Dong. For every dollar, you would get 17000 Dongs in return indicating that the valuation of the Dong is pretty weak.
