Sam Ratulangi seems to be qualified as a national hero. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Ratulangi
Frans Kaisiepo, maybe, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frans_Kaisiepo
Raden Djuanda Kartawidjaja, mayb, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Djuanda_Kartawidjaja
Cut Nyak Meutia, definitely, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut_Nyak_Meutia

It's a good list. Inclusive of a couple of Christians, and for the first time someone from Irian.

Also the pictures on the OP is just an illustration by Detik.com, not the actual look of the currency.

Wait and see if President Prabowo puts his daddy on a banknote. Nevermind that Sumitro backed regional rebellions aimed at breaking up NKRI to weaken Sukarno.

As for the old plan to redenominate the rupiah by dropping three zeroes, that was axed because Megawati opposed it. Why? Because otherwise she would have to change her name to Kilowati. I thenk yew.
