ABC Wednesday: R is for Rupiah



R is for Rupiah, the Indonesia's currency. 50 000 Rupiahs is about S$7.64 (US$5.50), not much to buy there with this little money. You need to be a 'millionaire' to visit this country! lol

Well, there's something I didn't know! It always puzzles me why the high numbers for so little in some currencies. I guess it's the effect inflation has had?

I've always wanted to be a millionaire! And since the euro isn't going so strong at the moment, perhaps I should start with the rupiah...

My Singaporeon friends tease my Indonesian friends that they are millionaires when they go to Indonesia,

Do you go to Batam? Sadly I have not been. When i was about to go, the Indo Govt imposed a US$35 on foereign non ASEAN Passports.

Thee are some countries in southern Africa with hyperinflation like that. Discouraging, though attractive bills.
