If you have a debit card with no fees and you take out JMD, exchange rate today at an ATM is 126.5 to 1.
Exchange rate downtown today, for US$ - 118 to 1
Yesterday it Cost me $406.22US for $50,000J from the scotia bank J atm. $123.08US to 1J.
124.66 at the ATM 20 minutes ago

Folks a quick question if you don't mind. I appreciate US dollars are accepted by most and have had no problems in the past however I would be happier spending Jamaican dollars with Jamaicans rather than US dollars. Do you guys prefer US dollars or JA dollars?
Either is fine. But by paying in Jamaican dollars you are saving Jamaicans a trip to the cambio.Quote:

I will give whatever is listed on the menu or price board. If it's in JA, I use JAD. If it is in US, I give USD. That is, unless I'm only carrying one or the other. I do prefer to spend local currency when I am visiting anywhere I go.Quote:
