About Jamaican Dollar (J$)
The Jamaican Dollar (JMD, ISO 4217 code 388, symbol J$ or simply $) is the official currency of Jamaica, issued by the Bank of Jamaica (BoJ, est. 1960). Subdivided into 100 cents. Banknotes: J$50, J$100, J$500, J$1,000, J$5,000 (the highest denomination, introduced 2009; current series features Jamaican national heroes — Marcus Garvey on J$500, Norman Manley on J$1,000, Sir Donald Sangster on J$5,000 and historical figures including Sam Sharpe, Nanny of the Maroons, Paul Bogle, George William Gordon, Alexander Bustamante); coins: J$1, J$5, J$10, J$20. Jamaica is a Caribbean island nation (~2.8 million population) and the largest English-speaking Caribbean economy by population. Tourism is the dominant economic sector (~30% of GDP, ~3.5 million visitors annually — Negril, Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, Port Antonio resort towns), followed by remittances from the Jamaican diaspora in US/UK/Canada (~15-20% of GDP), bauxite/alumina mining (Jamaica was once the world's largest bauxite producer), agricultural exports (sugar, bananas, coffee — Blue Mountain Coffee is one of the world's most expensive coffees), and reggae music industry. BoJ adopted inflation targeting in 2017 (current target 4-6% CPI). JMD has steadily depreciated against USD over decades from ~J$70 in 2010 to ~J$155 in 2024.
