Currency & Money
Rupiah (IDR; symbol Rp). Banknotes are in denominations of Rp100,000, 50,000, 20,000, 10,000, 5,000, 2,000, and 1,000. Coins are in denominations of Rp1,000, 500, 200, 100, and 50, though smaller coins (Rp100 and Rp50) are rarely seen in daily transactions.
Credit cards are widely accepted in Indonesia, especially in major cities, tourist destinations, hotels, restaurants, and larger shops. Visa and Mastercard are the most commonly accepted. However, outside urban centres and in smaller establishments, cash is generally required.
ATMs are widely available across Indonesia, particularly in urban centres and tourist areas. Most ATMs accept international cards with Visa (Plus), Mastercard (Cirrus), and Maestro logos. Beware that withdrawal limits and fees can vary.
There are no restrictions on the amount of foreign currency you can bring into Indonesia, but amounts equivalent to or exceeding Rp100 million (or its foreign currency equivalent) must be declared upon arrival.
Exporting rupiah is restricted.
Currency exchange is available at banks, authorised money changers, and some hotels. US dollars are the easiest foreign currency to exchange, followed by euros, Australian dollars, and Singapore dollars. It is advisable to exchange money at reputable locations and check for clean, undamaged banknotes, as worn or torn notes may be rejected.
