Sen ...has not been issued since the 1960s and has de facto gone out of cash circulation, but remains in non-cash financial transactions. Throughout its history, the Indonesian rupiah has been subject to only one denomination. Until 1944, the Dutch guilder was used in Indonesia. During the period of occupation by Japan (1944-1945), the rupiah was introduced into the country. In 1945, Indonesia proclaimed independence and the Indonesian rupiah was introduced into money circulation, which was used in financial circulation along with the occupation and Dutch guilder banknotes. In 1965, inflation occurred in the country, which led to the need for a denomination of the national currency. On December 13, 1965, a new rupee was issued, at a rate of 1,000 old to one new rupee.
