Current Legal Tender
The current rupiah consists of coins from 50 rupiah up to 1000 rupiah (1 rupiah are officially legal tender but are effectively worthless and are not circulated), and from banknotes of 1000 rupiah up to 100,000 rupiah. With US$1 generally worth about 9,400 rupiah (August 2012), the largest Indonesian banknote is therefore worth approximately US$10.64.
