In Reply to: Money changers do like $100 AUD posted by tunaman on Friday, 29. March 2013 at 10:33 Bali Time:
While I use the ATM a lot in Bali I always take a few clean new $100 notes to change if I need to. The exchange rate works out about the same, taking bank fees into account, and I like the peace of mind in case my bank card gets eaten up by the machine. It also means that I need not change money to rupiah before we arrive in Bali, then have to pay exchange rate turning it back to my $$$ again if I did not use it all. I am really stink at maths too, so I find it easier to calculate the exchange rate using 100 rather than 50.
