I always purchase my $25 US at the ANZ bank before i leave.
I like to keep the VOA simple so take US.
There is nothing wrong with changing up a small amount of AU into IDR before hand if you have not been for years or are going for the first time, it will give you a chance to get to know the money before you leave.
Too many people have handed over a 100,000 note to a porter,driver or bell steward as a tip thinking it was a 10,000 after changing up their first hundred dollars at the airport money changer.
The new 10,000 IDR is a better colour to the old and not so easy to confuse with the 100,000 note but on my recent trip i only ever received one new 10,000 note which i still have in the IDR i kept for my next trip.
