I have noticed when I'm on the streets here in Vietnam that when it starts to get dark out a lot of people burn paper outside their buildings. In the ground outside some homes there are little boxes that are used for burning these papers. They only do this in special days in the year.
They burn fake American money for their ancestors to send them money when they are in heaven. If you drive around the Old Quarters you will smell a lot of smoke when they are doing this on special days during the year. I went up to this man above to see what he was doing and he had a bunch of 100 dollar bills. I became richer after meeting this man when he gave me some money. I guess some travelers will use this money in hotels or to buy things around Hanoi and some will take it as payment even though they know it's fake.
