the commission here will kill you, take aussie (or what have you) dollars and change them at the kodak shops (PT Central Kuta chain)
If you need some currency to get a cab of whatever before you get to your accomodation then change 50 or 100 at the airport, the rate you will get there is only slightly less than you will get at the kodak shops. Don't forget that the places advertising the highest exchange rate may well get the best end of the deal ie skim some money
PS about the only major currency that they didn't change at the money changers was from SA
