Indonesian Rupiah to Euro

The Indonesian Rupiah (symbol: Rp, code: IDR, number: 360) is the official currency of Indonesia. Informally Indonesians use the word "perak" ("silver" in Indonesian) in referring to rupiah. The rupiah was first introduced in the country in 1945.

However, the modern version of the currency, the so-called new rupiah is being issued since the redenomination in 1965. The exchange was made at the rate of 1000 old rupees per new one. The rupiah formally is divided into 100 sens, but physically coins denominated less than 1 Rp are discontinued. The banknotes depict national heroes, politicians, monuments, sceneries of the country, local people.

The euro (sign: €, code: EUR, number: 978) is the official currency of the Eurozone. Presently, the Eurozone comprises 19 EU states and several non-EU microstates and special territories, such as the Vatican or the Republic of Kosovo. The euro has replaced the former accounting currency European Currency Unit (ECU).

The non-cash form of the euro currency came into existence in 1999. Physical euro banknotes and coins entered into circulation in 2002. The European currency is second in international interbank turnover, succumbing only to the US dollar.
