I don't know about Budapest, but the Czech Republic has its own currency. There are web sites that can tell you. Try Google.

In Hungary the currency is Forint.

Euros probably will be accepted, however legally they don't have to, it's not their currency

RS,
Prague uses the Krone. $1 buys 16 Krones. The exchange rate is very good right now! You have nothing to worry about.
