it's good to get some rupiah in change when purchasing VOA.
No problem with that....each to their own.
However, how many people actually return to their home country with decent amounts of rupiah for "next time".
I have always done this, and quite enjoy the small gamble involved in watching where the AUD V's Rupe is going....sometimes loosing, but of late doing very well.
I like to arrive cashed up (this time with rupe bought at 8600) able to pay the rental car at the airport and perhaps cover the first week or so of the stay with "old money".
I realise that not everyone is able to afford this practice and spend right to the last rupe on departure at the airport.
Do others bring decent amounts back.....because those that do may be smiling a bit now as they watch the rate slipping away.
