I have a small question. I was doing spring cleaning few days ago and i found some old Indonesia notes given to me by my parents long ago. I am wondering if they were still legal tender. If they are not,any idea if they can still be exchangeable to legal notes?
Thanks you.
I tried searching online and many interesting info came out ,especially on the 20k note above.

Why does Indonesian 20,000 rupiah currency note (1998) have the picture of Lord Ganesha?
Ganesha is worshipped as god of education which fits the main theme of the note — education. If you look at the backside of the note, you'll see a picture of typical classroom activity in Indonesia and in front, a picture of Ki Hajar Dewantara whose birthdate is celebrated as National Education Day in Indonesia. The use of Hindu's deities and symbols is common in Indonesia as in the early centuries, Indonesian archipelago was heavily influenced by Hinduism.
