Chrissy, buy travellers cheques or take au cash and change in Bali. Order the amount of rupiah that you require in the Travelex internet site and yes you will get a better rate, but not as good as changing on the street, as seen in my previous forum message. Having just gone through the process myself, I bought $100 rupiah. The rest in US$ T/Cs. Mind you, the US rate in Bali is pretty crap at the moment.
