Planning a trip to Bali and wondering how much your US dollars will be worth in local currency? No worries, converting your cash is a breeze! Here’s what you need to know about changing 200 USD to Balinese currency.
Bali Uses Indonesian Rupiah (IDR)
There’s no separate currency for Bali. The entire country of Indonesia uses the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). So, your 200 USD will be converted into IDR.
Current Exchange Rate
Exchange rates fluctuate, but to give you a general idea, as of today, June 4, 2024, $1 USD is roughly equal to around 16,200 IDR (you can find the most up-to-date rates with a quick Google search or using a currency converter app).
Converting Your Money
There are a few ways to convert your USD to IDR:
- Airport Currency Exchange: Convenient but often has less favorable rates.
- Banks and ATMs: Widespread and secure, but check for foreign transaction fees from your bank.
- Licensed Money Changers: Competitive rates, but do your research to ensure legitimacy.
Here’s what 200 USD might get you in Bali (estimates):
- Nice dinner: 200,000 IDR – 400,000 IDR
- Day trip: 200,000 IDR – 500,000 IDR
- Souvenirs: Depending on what you buy, 200 USD could go a long way!
Tips for Getting the Best Exchange Rate
- Shop around: Compare rates at different exchange offices before committing.
- Look for exchange offices with "no commission" fees.
- Consider using travel cards or pre-loaded debit cards to avoid foreign transaction fees.
