Try this.

 time.sleep(5)
 buttons = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//input[@value='Cari']")

This returns 2 buttons. Choose the one you want.

buttons[0].click() #First button..Currency selector?

buttons[1].click() #Second Button..Date selector.

To check elements. Open the developer console. press CTRL+F. In the bar type the xpath. It will highlight the element and show how many are there with the same attribute.

Although, it is advisable to use WebDriverWait, sometimes, it just doesn't work. I use time.sleep(x) ..then find the element with the same xpath, the regular way. driver.find_element_by_xpath.

WebDriverWait(driver, 15).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable(
    By.xpath, "//input[@id='ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_g_6c89d4ad_107f_437d_bd54_8fda17b556bf_ctl00_btnSearch2']"))
