How to save money on your Indonesian escape

Here are some tips to travel Indonesia (including Bali of course) on a budget...

Travel Off-Peak – Skip the high season (July-August and holidays) and come between April-June or September-October. Cheaper flights, less crowded, and still plenty of sunshine!
Eat like a local – savour nasi goreng, babi guling, and fresh satay from local warungs or street food vendors—delicious, authentic, and way cheaper than touristy restaurants!
Budget Stays – Forget the big resorts. Stay in a guesthouse, family-run homestay, or even a cozy village bungalow. Bali’s got so many hidden gems that won’t break the bank!
Enjoy free fun – Bali’s stunning beaches, rice terraces, and temples are all free to explore—perfect for nature lovers, photographers, or anyone looking to soak in the island’s beauty without spending a dime... though you might want to pay a little extra for cocktails and photos.

All about Indonesian currency

A quick intro to money in Indonesia

Whether you've heard it called "Bali dollars," wondered if it's Rupees or Rupiah, or just want to know what to expect when you land — here's a quick breakdown of Indonesian currency.

The official currency of Indonesia is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). It's used everywhere across the country, from Bali and Lombok to Jakarta and Yogyakarta. One thing to get used to: the numbers are big. 1 AUD typically gets you thousands of Rupiah, so you'll often be carrying a decent stack of notes for what feels like a modest amount in Aussie dollars. Your wallet will love how far your money goes — just keep your notes organised.

Indonesian notes and coins

IDR comes in both coins and banknotes, though banknotes are far more commonly used given the large denominations.

Coins: Rp 50, Rp 100, Rp 200, Rp 500, Rp 1,000

Banknotes: Rp 1,000, Rp 2,000, Rp 5,000, Rp 10,000, Rp 20,000, Rp 50,000, Rp 100,000

Pro tip: for a quick rough conversion, cover the last four zeros with your finger. Rp 100,000 becomes approximately $10 AUD at current rates, though always check the live rate above for accuracy.

Fun facts about Indonesian cash

The Rp 100,000 note features Indonesia's first President Sukarno and first Vice President Mohammad Hatta on the front — Indonesia's two founding fathers on the country's highest denomination note.
The Garuda Pancasila, Indonesia's national emblem drawn from Hindu mythology, features as a security watermark on the Rp 100,000 note. It represents freedom, strength, and national unity.
Each denomination in the current 2022 banknote series features a different national hero on the front and a traditional dance, landscape, or cultural motif on the reverse.

Travel Money Trivia - IDR edition

The word "Rupiah" comes from the Sanskrit word for wrought silver: "rupya." It shares its roots with the Indian Rupee and several other South and Southeast Asian currencies.
The Indonesian Rupiah was introduced in 1945, shortly after Indonesia declared independence.
The Rupiah is one of the lowest-valued currencies per unit in the world, which is why everyday transactions involve numbers in the thousands and hundreds of thousands. It's part of what makes Bali feel so affordable for Australian travellers.
Indonesia has been discussing redenominating the Rupiah — removing three zeros so Rp 1,000 becomes Rp 1 — since 2013. As of 2026, the government is targeting completion of the legislation by 2027, though Bank Indonesia has indicated implementation remains a long-term agenda.

What is the currency in Bali?
The currency in Bali is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). It's the official currency of Indonesia and is used across the entire country, including Bali, Jakarta, Lombok, Yogyakarta, and everywhere in between.
Many places in Bali, particularly markets, warungs, taxis, and smaller local businesses, are cash-preferred or cash-only. Having Rupiah in your wallet before you land makes the first day significantly easier.
You can buy Indonesian Rupiah online before you travel, or find your nearest Travel Money Oz store to buy in person.

What is the best place to buy Indonesian Rupiah in Australia?
A dedicated foreign currency specialist will almost always offer a better deal than a bank, post office, or airport exchange. Here's how the options compare:

Banks typically charge transaction fees on top of a less competitive rate.
Post offices offer limited currency options and variable rates.
Airport exchanges are the most expensive option. Buy before you travel, not after you land.

Travel Money Oz charges no fees or commission on IDR cash purchases, offers a Price Beat Guarantee on in-store purchases, and stocks Indonesian Rupiah every day across 90+ stores as part of our In Stock Promise. You can also order IDR online for same-day click & collect or home delivery.
Is it better to buy Rupiah in Australia or in Bali?
It's almost always better to buy Indonesian Rupiah in Australia before you travel. Airport exchanges in Bali and Indonesia typically offer less favourable rates and higher fees than Australian currency specialists. Sorting your IDR before you leave also means you arrive financially prepared, with Bali currency in hand from the moment you land.
Travel Money Oz offers competitive AUD to IDR rates, no fees or commission, and same-day online ordering with click & collect or home delivery. Find your nearest store if you'd prefer to buy in person.
How much is 1 AUD in IDR?
The AUD to IDR exchange rate changes throughout the day based on global market conditions. Check the live rate in the converter above for today's most accurate figure before you buy, as the rate moves frequently and any fixed number here will quickly become outdated.
