What is the common currency in Indonesia?

The commonly used currency in Indonesia is the Indonesian rupee, and its code is IDR.

on November 2, 1949, four years after the country's independence, the government stipulated that Indonesia began to use the rupee as the official currency of the country, and since then, it has not used the guilder.

At that time, Riau Island and West Irian still used their own rupees [rupees were written on the coins]. Later, in 1964, the government decided that Riau Island was not allowed to use their rupees, and then in 1971, Indonesia began to use the unified currency rupee designed by the central government.

The Indonesian rupee, printed and issued by Indonesia National Banknote Printing Factory, is one of the currencies with the smallest value and the largest denomination in the world.

The security in Jakarta, the capital, is relatively good. However, due to serious poverty and unemployment, social problems in some old neighborhoods are relatively prominent, and social idlers gather, and cases such as theft and robbery often occur. It is recommended to avoid going to remote locations.
