If you are going to take US currency
Make sure the notes are in very good condition no rips or tears and not writing marks .
Take only 2006 or later print with no CB codes on the notes.
We exchange our Aud for USD so that we can pay the hotel as they quote in USD we then take Aud. to exchange for Rupiah for our spending money.
We have been getting good exchange rates in our city (Melbourne)we usually ring and pre book the amount so that they can have it ready for us when we get there.
Depends on how much you need
Check out the money exchange places in your town on the web.
