Each time we go to bali i make us each up a little reference list. Two columns that look like this, (i usually work on the the exchange rate of 6800rp
Bali Aussie
5'000 $0.74
10'000 $1.47
25'000 $3.67
50'000 $7.35
100'000 $14.70
250'000 $36.76
500'000 $73.53
1'000'000 $147.05
So you get the gist. Although i've been to bali 5 times, i still find it helps, its easier to carry than a calulator.
Also because some of their money can look alike a simple trip when your paying for something to make sure you give the right money on the top right hand corner of their notes it says the amount - for example 10000. Always put your finger over the last three zeros and you wont go wrong.
have a great time!!!
