Etymology

The term 'rupiah' comes from the Malay word 'rupiah', which is originally derived from the Spanish word 'real'. The term was used to refer to various currencies and eventually became associated with the Indonesian currency. The rupiah was formally introduced in Indonesia after the country declared its independence from the Dutch colonial rule in 1945. Since then, the rupiah has gone through several changes, including the introduction of new series of banknotes and coins, to combat inflation and meet the economic needs of the country. The central bank of Indonesia, known as Bank Indonesia, is responsible for issuing and regulating the rupiah.
