TL;DR
US dollars may be accepted in Nha Trang as a backup when you are short of Vietnamese dong, but notes should be new and undamaged. Bring newer-series USD bills and use VND for most day-to-day spending.
Bring newer-series US dollar banknotes for your trip, as travelers report they are less likely to be refused.
If you run short of VND, some places in Nha Trang may accept US dollars. There is no confirmed information about euros, so do not rely on EUR as your backup payment method.
USD bills should be clean, crisp, and free of tears, heavy creases, or stains, as cash handlers can be strict about note condition.
