look on the left hand side,click on "Cheat Sheet" under the "Tools" heading.
Put in the currency you want ie Rup to Au $, and it will give you a credit card sized printable conversion both Au to Rup and Rup to Au,starting at $1 to $500.
Laminate both or glue both back to back and you will have a credit card sized ready reckoner,with this you can flip back and forth from Rup to dollars.
One side will say $1= 7800RP up to $500, the other side will say 7800 Rp = $1 etc.
We have used them all over the world,but are especially good for Bali as the money can be a bit of a mind bender at first.
You will be surprised at the amount of times people get confused and hand over thousands instead of hundreds.
Oander cheat sheet,dont leave home without it.
