I was once approached in the street by a local asking to exchange a $2 coin for rupiah. I though why not, I didn't say anything, simply handed him a 10,000 note and he the $2 coin. It was a fair exchange at the time the rate on the street was around 5900 and considering he likely got the coin for nothing he did very well.
