The Indonesian rupiah has a history of being somewhat volatile. During the Asian financial crisis in the late 90′s, people doubled their money here in Bali, or lost their money (depending what currency they were holding) overnight.
Using BootsnAll’s currency converter (the best in the world), we are able to get an up to date picture of how the mighty rupiah stacks up against other major currencies.
