In Reply to: The bank will change old us notes posted by Travelforever on Tuesday, 6. August 2013 at 19:23 Bali Time:
I wasn't going to lose another $100US with Febris not taking the old US notes that Eden gave me. I just wanted to pay my bill, wasn't interested in finding a bank and trying to sort out and taking a chance.
Because I had signed the form from Eden stating I accepted the money I felt there would be no recourse later on trying to retrieve it. It was fortunate that I could rush back over to Eden within 5 minutes swiftly demanding $50 US notes instead of the old US note. Anyway when I paid Eden first off I have given them all crisp $50 US notes. If it was a couple of dollars I wouldn't be bothered yet on losing $100US dollars from the room safe and then nearly losing another $100US, it's serious money...
Phew! it's all over and I'm going to keep telling others this story, the more aware we are the better in making decisions.
