I thought that everyone in Australia knew about the dodgy money changers. If the bank rate and the likes of BMIC etc are say, Rp10500 it is impossible for so called money changers on the street to be able to give you a higher rate. They would be losing money. The only way they can do that is to rip off unsuspecting tourists by "sleight of hand" trickery.
They have been doing this for as long as people have been coming to Bali. I was "caught" in 1976 in Jalan Panai.
