Sometime 2006. This is what happened after "Tutup" motioned me to go to the other teller. There was a line so I had to wait for my turn. I handed my dollars to the teller and she closely scrutinized each dollar bill. She handed back a few bills and was pointing to a stamp on the bill.
"What's this?", she asked me pointing to the Mickey Mouse stamp at the backside of the 100 dollar bill.
"Uhhhmmm, Mickey Mouse," I retorted with a confused look on my face. I thought Mickey Mouse was known worldwide.
"Hhmpph, I won't accept that because of Mickey Mouse," the teller said with finality.
Lesson learned when in Jakarta make sure that your dollars are "clean and crisp", no marks whatsoever. Mickey Mouse not accepted.
