Is it cost-effective to take dollars or Indonesian rupiah to Bali?

It is recommended to exchange US dollars at home and Indonesian rupiah at a local safe exchange point in Bali. This is more cost-effective than exchanging RMB for Indonesian rupiah at home. The exchange rate is good. When you change dollars in China, you can directly change it into a hundred-dollar bill. It is best to issue US dollar bills after 2006, which are relatively new and have no obvious creases and corners. If it's convenient, you can also change some change for 1

Generally speaking, we arrive in Bali in the early hours of the morning. There is a shuttle bus service in the hotel where you stay the next day after arriving in Bali, which usually includes breakfast, so you don't need to spend Indonesian rupiah before going out to play the next day. If you want to tip airport pick-up attendants and room cleaners, you can use the change of $65,438 +0 in China first.

Then before going out to play, you can ask the chartered driver to take you to a safe exchange point or take a taxi for the taxi driver to take you there. There are many exchange points. When you change the Indonesian rupiah, you don't need to change too much at a time, just enough, because the exchange rate will always change. Unless the exchange rate is particularly good on that day, you can change it more. From my personal experience, I feel it is very convenient to directly exchange US dollars for Indonesian rupiah. We just went there last month. I changed $500 in Kuta for the first time and $200 in Shuimingyang for the second time, which was enough for seven days.

If you don't want to carry US dollars with you and find it troublesome to change money at foreign exchange points, you can also get a Huaxia bank card. You can withdraw Indonesian rupiah directly from the ATM of BCA, and the first overseas withdrawal every day is free. But in any case, it is inconvenient for local people to exchange RMB for Indonesian rupiah, and few places will accept RMB, and the exchange rate is even more uneconomical.
