Best Answer

The first bank notes to be used in Jamaica were issued by private banks in the mid 1800s. In the early 1900s the government issued notes in various denominations (2 shillings and sixpence, 5 shillings and 10 shillings) and they carried the image of the King ... George V.

In 1940 5 and 10 pound notes were issued. Later these carried the image of Queen Elizabeth II.

On decimalisation (1968) the currency changed again and a series dollar notes were issued.

Current notes are $10, $20, $50, $100, $500 and $1000. All other smaller denominations are coins.
