Learn more about the national currency of Jamaica.
The unit of currency in Jamaica is the Jamaican dollar. One U.S. Dollar equals approximately 48.5 Jamaican dollars.
Jamaican law requires that Jamaican currency be used when paying for all goods and services, though that law is followed very loosely and the U.S. dollar is accepted almost universally. Credit cards may also be used.
There are exchange bureaus in airports, hotels, and commercial banks. When you make an exchange, keep all receipts because you must present them upon departure when you reconvert unspent currency.
