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

From "Bali Dollars" to "Wait, is it Rupees or Rupiah?" - we've heard it all. So let us give a quick breakdown of "Bali Money" ...which of course is used all across Indonesia!

The Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) is definitely different from the New Zealand Dollar (NZD)—1 NZD usually gets you thousands of IDR! So, when you’re strolling through markets or grabbing street food, you might be carrying a big stack of bills for what feels like a small amount in New Zealand dollars. It’s all part of the fun, and trust us, your wallet will love how far your money goes in Indonesia. Just make sure to keep your notes organised—you’ll have plenty of them!

Indonesian notes and coins

The rupiah consists of coins in Rp 50, Rp 100, Rp 200, Rp 500 and Rp 1,000 denominations.

Banknotes come in denominations of Rp 1,000, Rp 2,000, Rp 5,000, Rp 10,000, Rp 20,000, Rp 50,000 and Rp 100,000.

Because of the big numbers, Indonesian banknotes are used more than the coins.

Fun facts about Indonesian cash

Abaca wood fibres are the preferred materials for printing banknotes on, but long fibres from any kind of wood can be used.
The red 100,000 note features Indonesia's first Vice President, Mohammed Hatta, and first President, Sukarno. The Indonesian Parliament building in Jakarta is on the reverse side.
That majestic bird you see on the 100,000 rupiah note? It’s the Garuda, Indonesia's national symbol! A mythical bird from Hindu mythology, it represents freedom, strength, and pride—kind of like Indonesia itself. Fly high, Garuda!
