Looks like a "rub and tug" place Fly.
Probably should not take hyna with you. ;)
It is actually not, there are those places all over but then there are places like this that aren't. It is completely legit.

Diverse Banknotes: Southeast Asia’s Highest Currency Denominations

Southeast Asia’s currencies reflect both the region’s economic diversity and its cultural identity. According to Seasia Stats, the highest currency denominations across Southeast Asian nations range widely from Thailand’s ฿1,000 note to Vietnam’s massive ₫500,000 bill. While these numbers differ greatly in value due to exchange rates, they each carry unique national symbols and historical figures that represent their country’s heritage.

In countries like Singapore, Brunei, and Malaysia, the highest denominations are SGD 100, BND 100, and RM 100 respectively currencies known for their relatively strong value. Meanwhile, Indonesia’s Rp100,000 note remains the highest in circulation, featuring national heroes and vivid designs that embody the country’s spirit. Timor-Leste, on the other hand, uses the U.S. dollar, with $100 as its largest denomination in daily transactions.

Interestingly, nations like Vietnam and Laos have some of the largest numerical denominations—₫500,000 and ₭100,000 respectively—reflecting differences in inflation and currency valuation. These contrasting figures offer insight into each country’s economic scale and purchasing power, highlighting how Southeast Asia’s economies, though interconnected, remain distinct in their monetary systems.
When I was working in Singapore you could take a ferry over to Batam Island, Indonesia. The exchange rate at the time was 10,000 rupiah to 1 USD. Now it's 16,000 to 1.

I remember being charged 400,000 rupiah for something which was 40 USD.

I do not go to Romantic movies Fly.
Its in my wedding vows.
Sometimes it's nice to show your romantic side Tankster, there is no shame in it. I know you and @DiggityDaggityDo aka the new dad aka wanna be tough guy of Laredo act hard 24/7 on BMR but it is ok to show your romantic side as well. Your peers won't think any differently of you.
