Customs officers at Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi seized almost $129,000 from a Vietnamese national flying in from Moscow on Friday morning.
The passenger is a Hanoi native who had divided the cash into 14 parts and hid them in his hand luggage, jacket and checked-in baggage.
The cash was covered in silver paper.
People bringing more than $5,000 into or out of Vietnam have to declare it to customs. Failure to do so is a crime that carries a penalty of up to 10 years in jail.
