Indonesian Rupiah Banknotes & Coins We Accept

To exchange your Indonesian Rupiah for cash, select the coins or banknotes you want to add to your account below.

About Indonesian Rupiah Exchange

The Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) is the official currency of Indonesia, one of Southeast Asia’s most visited destinations. We accept all denominations of Rupiah banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.

Current Indonesian Rupiah Banknotes

Bank Indonesia’s most recent banknote series, issued from 2022 onwards, features a range of denominations celebrating Indonesian national heroes and cultural imagery. We accept all notes from this series, including the 100,000 Rupiah note and the 50,000 Rupiah note, as well as every lower denomination in between. The notes incorporate modern security features including colour-shifting ink and watermarks, and are widely used across the country.

Old Series & Damaged Notes

Unlike most high street exchanges, we also buy older series of Rupiah banknotes that are no longer in everyday circulation. This includes notes from the 2009–2016 series, such as the 100,000 Rupiah (2009–2016), as well as earlier issues such as the 50,000 Rupiah issued 2005 and other notes going back to the early 2000s. We also accept damaged notes provided they remain at least 50% intact, though the rate offered may be slightly lower than for notes in good condition.

Indonesian Rupiah Coins

We accept Indonesian Rupiah coins, which circulate in denominations including 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 Rupiah. Because of the additional handling involved, the rate for coins is slightly lower than for banknotes, but unlike many other exchanges we won’t turn them away. If you’ve come back from Bali or Java with a pocketful of coins alongside your leftover notes from a trip across Southeast Asia — perhaps alongside Malaysian Ringgit or Thai Baht — we can exchange them all.

Indonesian Rupiah Exchange FAQ

Do you accept the Heroes 2016 series of Indonesian Rupiah banknotes?

Yes, we do. The Heroes 2016 series was a significant redesign issued by Bank Indonesia, and we buy all denominations from this series, including the 100,000 Rupiah Heroes 2016 note right through to the smaller values. Simply send us your notes and we’ll assess them alongside any other Rupiah you have.

Can I exchange the special commemorative 75,000 Rupiah note from 2020?

Yes! The 75,000 Rupiah commemorative note, issued to mark Indonesia’s 75th anniversary of independence, is a recognised denomination and we are happy to exchange it. It’s an unusual face value not found in the standard series, so if you’re unsure whether it qualifies, rest assured it does.

Will UK banks exchange my leftover Indonesian Rupiah?

No — most UK high street banks do not exchange Indonesian Rupiah, and even many bureau de change services won’t accept it. The Rupiah is not widely traded in the UK, so a specialist service like ours is usually the easiest way to convert your leftover notes and coins into pounds.

How do I send my Indonesian Rupiah to you, and when will I be paid?

Simply box up your Rupiah banknotes and coins yourself and post them to us — many of our customers do this after returning from a holiday in Bali or elsewhere in Indonesia. Once we receive and verify your currency, we’ll pay you within 5 working days by bank transfer or PayPal. If for any reason you’re not happy with our offer, we’ll return your currency to you free of charge.

Do you accept early 2000s Indonesian Rupiah banknotes that are no longer in circulation?

Yes, we accept a wide range of older Rupiah issues that Bank Indonesia has since withdrawn, including notes from the early 2000s such as the 1,000 Rupiah issued 2000 and the 20,000 Rupiah issued 2004. The rate offered for older notes may be slightly lower than for current series, but we won’t simply turn them away as many exchanges do.
