Indonesian currency rates: Oct 12th 2006

One factor that will affect your time in Bali, is the rate of exchange. Let’s face it, us blue collar folks love acting like Donald Trump once a year in Bali, ordering the pretty waitresses around, and feeling the Bintang, to make sure its cold enough (as if we’ve got a clue!).

The good old Indonesian rupiah, is as stable as Indonesia’s fault line, which can buy us a few extra nasi gorengs, if we time it right. Here are a few major currencies showing today’s rate compared to the Rupiah.
