Money exchange to chose:
find only trusted money changer, the most recommended is PT. CENTRAL KUTA, this authorized money changer is the only one offer best rate and it has many branch around Kuta, sanur, seminyak or Ubud. They will have LCD screen which will show your their up to date exchange rate which is change in every hours, They are online!

The Exchange Term and condition:
For US Dollar Note, Their note exchange rate is not the same, for small note ($ 1, $ 2, $5, $ 10, and $ 20) Those small note will have lower exchange rate than the bigger note ($ 50 and $ 100), so, if you want to get better exchange rate, do exchange only the bigger note.
