Even giving the taxi driver a 20 000 rupiah note is not really giving him much more than $1.50. Above 20 000 rupiah - well you know that the drivers won't be able to change larger notes so the problem is with Stephen.
He had a 50 000 rupiah note than he would of known that he had to get it changed.
