Indonesian Coins

Some of you maybe already know that I am from Indonesia. But now, I stay in USA with my parents and brother.

One day, I sent some stuff from here to my aunt and my grandmother in Indonesia. The customer service at post office is a coin collector. So, he asked me that he would also like to collect Indonesian coins.

Then, I tell my aunt to send some Indonesian coins to me, so I could give them to him.

So, I want to show some of the coins to you.

Today, 1 US dollar (USD) is equal to 9300 IDR (Indonesia Rupiah).

But, to make it easier, just pretend 1 USD = 10000 IDR
