It is the rule that these taxes must be paid at a central BRI bank in Jakarta. Because I knew I had to pay this $1,200, I had asked a friend to bring me dollars from my overseas bank account.

What happened<br>\nat the bank was incredible. They refused to take the notes<br>\nbecause there were some very small chops made in the past by a<br>\nteller machine and, despite the fact that the notes were from<br>\n1997, BRI could not accept them, although they were taken<br>\ndirectly from a reputable international bank.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I really wonder what is happening here. Things are really<br>\ngetting crazy and all our foreign and local friends were<br>\nastonished and ashamed that even in these days with the Aku Cinta<br>\nRupiah drive, the notes cannot be accepted by the bank. Is it not<br>\nan obligation of the bank if the notes are genuine, to accept<br>\nthem?<\/p>\n<p>I would very much appreciate a reaction from BRI or even BI on<br>\nthis matter.<\/p>\n<p>ANTON HOVERS<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta<\/p>",
