Public holiday eve means not yet public holiday. Hence, should still be able to take trading rate as a general guide.

XE is giving me 9830 as I'm typing this. But, this is live trading rate, so retail customers won't be able to get this. Just a general guide.

But, what the bro said above is true. Unless you're changing thousands of $$$, the difference you might get will be negligible. Maybe at most 10k - 20k rp. Furthermore, since you're asking, means you're not a regular of any money changer, all the more you won't be given regular customer rates.

I don't know if the 9810 I'm given is good rate or not. But, I'm just changing $200. Even if I'm given 9830, the difference is just 600 rp. Hardly enough to get me another pair of nipples to tune.

So, see open a bit. Just make sure you change at shop where there are at least 3-4 money changers to compare price and you can be sure you won't do too badly.

I did read here that if you happen to change on a non trading day, changing between 11am - 12:30 noon seems to get you better rates. I've not had the chance to test this theory though.
