Good to have you back

It's great to see the smaller Indonesian bank notes are back in circulation. Before Idul Fitri the 5,000 (about 85 cents) and 10,000 rupiah bills completely disappeared. It's traditional to give children money to celebrate the occasion, so everyone began to hoard their stash months ago. There were even people on the side of the road who - for a small commission - would change your larger bills into tiddlers. Now, thankfully, all those kids are out spending spending spending, and we can have our money back.
