Description

The official currency of Bali is the same money used in all Indonesian islands: the Indonesian rupiah. This is the only currency officially used on the island. It’s represented by the currency code IDR and the currency symbol Rp.

Prices are usually quoted with the abbreviation before the price while units of a thousand are represented with a full stop, rather than a comma. This means that you’ll typically find ten thousand rupiahs written as Rp. 10.000 or often just Rp. 10K.

The thousands are also often implied. If you see a price tag of Rp. 40 or someone tells you an item costs “forty”, it’s reasonable to assume this would be Rp. 40,000.

Can You Use Australian Dollars in Bali?

Australian visitors are so entrenched in the island’s tourism that it’s natural to wonder if you can use Aussie dollars in Kuta or Ubud.

In short, Australian dollars are not accepted across the island. Despite our frequent travels there, the Aussie dollar has no value to locals and will need to be converted into Indonesian money before you hit up the markets or bars.

Where is the Indonesian Rupiah accepted

The Indonesian Rupiah is used across Indonesia including the main islands of Java, Kalimantan, Sumatera, Sulawesi and the thousands of islands surrounding. Indonesia is the only country which uses IDR.

The value of the Rupiah has declined over years, which means your travel wallet will likely be in the millions. Something you’ll have to get used to because Indonesia relies heavily on cash, especially on the islands where you’ll need cash pay for most things.

Where is the best place to buy foreign currency in Australia?

If you like the reassurance of having the local currency readily available from the moment you step off the plane, you have three options to pick up the cash before you go:

Buy the currency online and either collect it in-store or have it delivered to you.
Collect from a currency exchange store.
Most expensively, buy the currency at the airport.

Online money changers like S Money are often an easy and cheap way to buy foreign exchange online but it may not necessary be as quick as walking into a store. Companies like Travelex also offer a currency exchange service online but it takes between two and five business days before the currency is ready for pick-up or delivery so you need to be organised!

Alternatively, buying your currency in-store can be a good option but it all depends on where you go. The money changers in the centre of the main cities like Sydney or Melbourne tend to be more competitive than smaller stores in the suburbs.

Only change money at the airport as a last resort. The exchange rates and fees at Australian airports are among the worst in the world so avoid it at all costs if you want to get the best bang for your buck.
