I take USD to Bali to pay cash for hotels. It is much cheaper to pay in US currency than to have the hotel covert to rp (usually using an over inflated exchange rate) then the bank coversion fees and so on and so forth. Even paying cash in rp works out more expensive than paying for the room in USD (thats if the hotel quotes in USD).
