In Reply to: New bank notes? posted by perthmumofone on Monday, 19. February 2007 at 08:54 Bali Time:
Last year I changed Aussie notes for US dollars in Aust. before going to Bali so that I could pay the hotel direct as the conversion rate charged by the hotel was much lower .
Well this is when I was told by the hotel that US dollars printed before 2000 they would not and could not accept because they were to easy to counterfeit so hence I had to bring some back home with me .
The money changers told me also that the could not change them but some offered to at a very much discounted rate that made it not worth while changing so I took them back to where I changed them in the first place and requested notes printed after 2000
only.
No problems we will be back in April so we will use them then.
Aussie dollars are no worries as long as they are in good condition.
