  • Exchange only the biggest note ($50 and $100's notes) for your better exchange rate.
  • Avoid to exchange your US Dollar in a unauthorized money exchanger (usually in a small shop and offer high rates), find only the major Bank or go to Central Kuta money changer (it is available branch anywhere in the tourist destinations) ask your local driver or guide to help you to find them.
  • During the transaction, do not accept if the money changer give you a small notes of Indonesian Rupiah, our small notes is 1.000,5.000,10,000,20.000 and the bigger/biggest note is 50.000 and 100.000, Example if you change $ 100 into Indonesian Rupiah by the rate $ 1 = IDR 9500, So you will received IDR 950,000 (nine hundred fifty thousand rupiah) so you will have 9 pieces of 100.000 notes and 1 piece 50.000 note or may also 19 pieces of 50.000 note.avoid if the money changer give you all in 20.000 or smaller note for the example total received as mentioned above.
