In Reply to: New to Bali. What Money Denominations? posted by beachsoul on Sunday, 28. July 2013 at 07:35 Bali Time:
given denominations any less than a IDR50,000 is usually an indication the money changer is trying to cheat you. Not having smaller notes when you are out and about though can be a hassle because taxi drivers etc will tell you they have no change for your larger notes with the implication you should just let them keep it.
