determining the date of Jamaican dollars

That image says 1.2.93 in the bottom right corner. Does that mean the bill was issued on January 2, 1993? If so that seems a bit odd since, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaican_dollar#Banknotes, the $2 bill was dropped in 1989. |

You need to beware of Wikipedia, as because it is open access people write things there that are not necessarily true. As far as I can see from a little web research, the 1993 issue was the last for the Jamacian $2 bill. -- Tony Clayton |

Actually, the dating is February 1, 1993. As Tony said, don't trust Wikipedia for everything. Currently in Jamaica, the lowest denomination coin being used is JMD$10, with the JMD$20 even more common. I have been a frequent visitor to Jamaica and can remember the 50¢ bill, and the largest bill was $10. Now the $1000 bill is used the most. Ever since they floated the currency the exchange rate has gone way up. I haven't checked recently, but on my last trip in January, it was JMD$82/US$1. A beer will cost you $300! But it sure is fun playing poker with their money. Jamaica Jud BTW, I use JMD$50 and JMD$100 bills for bookmarks. Costs less than a bookmark! |
