from travelex to pick up at the aiport in a couple of weeks....I got 92.4c to the AUD$ (they don't charge commission). I'm only doing it to pay for our accommodation which is charged in US$. We were in bali a couple of years ago when the dollar suddenly decreased dramatically - We had booked our accommoation when the dollar was about 92c and it dropped to I think 67c so it really made a difference. I didn't want to get caught again so thought I would buy now.
As someone else has mentioned there is not much point in buying US just to then get it changed to Rp
