The current Indonesian currency was introduced during 1971. As of now, it has Rupiah and Sen with 100 Sens making up one Indonesian Rupiah. However, Sen does not hold much value as the Rupaiyah itself has less value. When referring to the currency, the local populace utilise the word ‘Perak’ instead of the more popular word ‘Rupiah.’ The Indonesian Rupiah has currency banknotes of 2000, 5000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000, and 100,000 respectively. Just like the rest of Asia, Indonesia is extremely easy on the pocket. Despite low rates, bargaining is a common practice among its populace, so you can easily negotiate the price of any item you like. Cash or card payment is extremely popular; however, one must carry smaller notes or coins for transportation or tipping businesses. When travelling to Indonesia, do not expect coins when asking for change since you will most likely end up with sweets. Older currency that dates back to 1998-1999 is invalid and can be exchanged for current Rupiah.
