Some facts about Indonesian Rupiah
The Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) has been Indonesia’s official currency since 1949, when it replaced the Dutch East Indies guilder. Knowing the current denominations—and what appears on them—will help you navigate prices confidently across Indonesia.

- Banknotes: Rp1,000, Rp2,000, Rp5,000, Rp10,000, Rp20,000, Rp50,000, Rp100,000.
