If you change your NZ$ into US$ you pay accordingly. Better to only change your cash once.
Some take travellers cheques, not I.
Same rules apply, you buy the travellers cheques with charges too.
You need your passport with you to prove identity and I dont like to carry passport around ever.
Most Hotels have safety deposit boxes where you can stash your passport cash etc. Just take out your days spending money each morning.
Enjoy your trip to Bali.
