What you need to know about the currency Indonesian Rupiah
The Indonesian rupiah is the official currency of Indonesia and was first issued in 1946. Until then, other currencies were used for transactions, such as the Japanese or the Dutch. The situation changed with the country's independence and the establishment of the national bank.
The banknotes of Indonesia in circulation are 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 50000, 75000, and 100000 Indonesian rupiah. All of them are made of paper. Paper currency is the most commonly used method of payment in the country, even more so than coins.
One rupiah (IDR) is divided into 100 sen. The coins of Indonesia are 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1000. All are made of aluminium, but the last one, issued from 2010, is made of copper, nickel, and zinc. The obverses feature the coat of arms and the reverses depict animals or plants.
The colloquial way of referring to the Indonesian rupiah is "perak," which in the local language means "silver." This word can be found written in rural areas or street markets to refer to the price of various products and services.
Although many countries are beginning to issue polymer banknotes due to their higher security against counterfeiting, Indonesia withdrew them from circulation. This happened in 2004 with the arrival of a new board of directors at the Bank of Indonesia.
