Foreign currencies from various countries provide investors with a number of financial territories that often go unexplored by most people.

Iraqi Dinar
Exotic currencies are some of the most interesting yet overlooked avenues for investors to make substantial gains.

Vietnamese Dong
Listed as one of the most under-valued currencies in the world, the Dong is poised to help investors make substantial profits in the coming years. With Vietnam averaging 7% annual growth and looking to lay the groundwork to become a modern, industrialized nation by 2020, smart investors would do well to give the Dong a serious look.
Like the Dinar, which was reported by IQD News to have a promising future, the Dong’s future seems almost limitless.

South Korean Won
The Won is another overlooked foreign currency of investors. A currency that has proven itself to be able to have sustained growth under difficult economic circumstances, experts see it as being able to absorb the pressure from the European debt crisis and come out ahead on the other side.
As one of the few developed countries that avoided a recession during the global financial crisis, South Korea’s Won is a smart choice.

Chinese Yuan
While a somewhat risky move for investors because of rumors of government undervaluing to keep the country’s exports affordable, this currency is capable of providing some positive surprises.
