About Jamaican Dollar Exchange
The Jamaican Dollar (JMD) is the official currency of Jamaica, issued by the Bank of Jamaica and used across the island for all everyday transactions. We accept all denominations of Jamaican Dollar banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.
Current Jamaican Dollar Banknotes
Jamaican Dollar banknotes feature some of the country’s most celebrated national heroes and political figures, with modern issues incorporating updated security features such as metallic threads and colour-shifting inks. We accept all current denominations in circulation, including higher-value notes such as the 5000 Jamaican Dollar note and the 1000 Jamaican Dollar note, as well as all smaller denominations.
Old Series & Damaged Notes
Unlike most high street exchanges, we also buy older and withdrawn Jamaican Dollar banknotes, including long-running series such as the 10 Jamaican Dollar note first issued in 1970 and earlier low-denomination notes that have since been replaced. We apply a simple 50% intact rule — as long as more than half of the note is present, we will make you an offer, though the rate may be slightly lower than for current-series notes. If you are also holding other Caribbean currencies, we buy Barbadian Dollars, Eastern Caribbean Dollars, and Trinidad and Tobago Dollars too.
Jamaican Dollar Coins
We accept Jamaican Dollar coins across denominations, which is something most UK banks will not offer. Coins are exchanged at a slightly lower rate than banknotes due to the additional handling involved, but there is no need to leave them behind when you return from your trip.
