Indonesian Rupiah: Exchange and Withdrawal of Traditional Banknotes

Jakarta, Indonesia – Throughout Indonesia’s history, numerous printed money denominations have circulated. While physical currency remains valid, several Rupiah denominations have been officially withdrawn from circulation. However, individuals have a limited time to exchange these withdrawn banknotes.

Exchange Regulations

According to Bank Indonesia Regulation Number 21/10/PBI/2019, individuals can exchange withdrawn currency for up to 10 years after its withdrawal. The regulation outlines the following conditions:

• If the physical Rupiah currency is larger than one-half (1/2) of its original size and its characteristics can be identified as genuine, it will be replaced with a value equal to its nominal value.
• If the physical Rupiah currency is equal to or less than one-half (1/2) of its original size, no replacement will be provided.
