That would be the Vietnamese currency, which never stops being funny to say: DONG! The exchange rate is approximately 18,000 dong = 1 USD, which makes retrieving money from the ATM quite funny, because you typically ask for about 1 million dong. It's really easy to eat very well, very cheap here. The other day, we had an amazing traditional breakfast of pho (noodle soup) and spring rolls and fresh fruit drinks for $12 total for three people. A beer is usually 10-20,000 dong. Cab meters in Hanoi begin at 12,000 dong. I got a coconut popsicle last night for 5.000 dong and that was pretty awesome.
