Not too sure about the rest, any updates?? I will be going again tomorrow and I will post some price if I get some timeoff from my OC.
Last tuesday about 9 days ago changed at opposite formosa at $1=7620 rupiah.

But saw the exchange rate online was about $1=7800 rupiah. That means most likely the money changer at Batam will be offering about $1 = 7750 rupiah.

Just 9 days only, the indonesian currency has devalue about 100 over rupiah is a bit abnormal.

The norm should be about 40 rupiah per month.

If the rupiah depreciation continue to goes on, inflation in batam may increase, then we will see price of goods and services everywhere escalating....
