In Reply to: When paying VOA with A$50 how much posted by Balitopia on Wednesday, 17. March 2010 at 17:09 Bali Time:
Depends on the rate of the AUD -> USD -> Rp
Last March 2009, Aud - Usd was .68 (today its .91). We got 15000rp change from au$45.
Allowing for reduced rate of exchange used by the VOA office, assume around aud 0.80 (usd 25 x 9200Rp = 230000 (VOA), divide by 8200 (approximate current aud/rp rate) = au$28).
Hand over au$50 for one VOA and should get change approximately au$22 or approximately 180,000rp change.
Will be interested to hear from someone who has recently paid in AUD and how much change they actually recently.
