Since Independence in 1962, the Bank of Jamaica has issued all banknotes in Jamaica. Prior to decimalisation on 8-Sep-1969, the currency was the same as the old British system of Pounds, Shillings and Pence, with notes issued for 5 and 10 Shillings and 1 and 5 Pounds.

The Post decimalisation currency is the Jamaican Dollar, with notes issued for 50 cents, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 100, 500 and 1000 Dollars.

In Feb 2010, 1000 Jamaican Dollars was worth about $11 US Dollars.
