In Reply to: Oz Dollars V US Dollars posted by pumpkinella on Saturday, 21. July 2007 at 06:40 Bali Time:
The OZ dollar is very strong on world markets at the moment, compared to the US.
So we are getting Rp8000 for the dollar, and the US still only getting Rp9100.
Even if you have a stash of USD at home in the mattress I'd leave it there and spend your AUD until the USD improves, or AUD drops.
Why go through two exchanges - you lose each time.
Even in remote areas of Indonesia you can change AUD.
