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Unlike most high street exchanges, we also buy older and withdrawn Jamaican Dollar banknotes, including long-running series such as the 10 Jamaican Dollar note first issued in 1970 and earlier low-denomination notes that have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.

Jamaican Dollar Exchange FAQ

Do you accept very old Jamaican Dollar banknotes from the 1970s?

Yes, we do. Some of the earliest Jamaican Dollar banknotes, including denominations such as the 1 Jamaican Dollar note first issued in 1970 and the 2 Jamaican Dollar note, were withdrawn from circulation long ago but we are still happy to make you an offer. The rate may be slightly lower than for current notes, but you will not need to simply throw them away.

Can I exchange Jamaican Dollar coins as well as banknotes?

Yes, we accept Jamaican Dollar coins alongside banknotes, which sets us apart from most UK banks and post offices that will only take foreign banknotes. Coins are exchanged at a slightly lower rate to account for the extra handling involved, but there is no need to separate them out before sending.

How do I send my Jamaican Dollars to you and when will I be paid?

Simply box up your Jamaican Dollars securely and post them to us yourself. Once we receive and verify your currency, we will pay you within 5 working days by bank transfer or PayPal — whichever you prefer. If for any reason you are not happy with our offer, we will return your currency to you free of charge.

Will a UK bank accept my leftover Jamaican Dollars?

No, most UK high street banks will not exchange Jamaican Dollars, as it is not a widely traded currency on the UK market. That is where we can help — we buy Jamaican Dollar banknotes and coins directly, including older series that even specialist exchange bureaux tend to turn away.

I have a damaged Jamaican Dollar note — can you still exchange it?

Yes, in most cases we can. Provided the note is more than 50% intact, we will make you an offer, though the rate will be slightly reduced compared to a note in good condition. If you are unsure whether your note qualifies, feel free to contact us before sending.
