Todays exchange rate

What is the exchange rate roughly for Pounds sterling into Jamaican dollars? I heard there is a fairly good rate at the moment can anyone confirm?

As of 17:00 it was 151.09

Can you explain that? I just do USD to JMD on google and get 98.47

151 that is what I heard that is the best rate I have ever had down there thank you

??? explanation please. Am I missing something?

SandT CHI the op is asking the UK £ rate not the USD rate...

oh man...sorry. guess i should read whats actually there

US$ to British Pound 1-1.55
US$ to J$ 1-97
British Pound to J$ 1-150

According to Oanda at 6:30 CDT

Ras W, I'll give you one million US$ to convert to British Pounds for me if you can get me 1.55 pound for a buck!!! :p My point is these exchange rate threads are full of errors and inaccuracies.

Hey Sunray:

If you have a million you won't be converting it at a cambio in Negril.

The OP asked about the exchange rate in Negril

FX Trader daily rates can be found here...

On all the main Negril.com pages (Home, Hotels, Dining, etc) there is a currency converter along with current weather conditions near the bottom right of each of the pages!

Hey CapD,

Ras W posted erroneous information that an exchange rate of US$ to British Pound 1 - 1.55 exists. For certain, no such exchange rate exists in Negril, Tokyo, London or New York or anywhere in the world. (You would need at least $1.50 USD to purchase 1 GBP).I was trying to illustrate that these exchange rate threads are only confusing to people and full of innacuracies.
Regardless, thanks for the heads up that I won't be able to exchange a million USD at a cambio in Negril. I wasn't too sure about that!:rolleyes:
Newer visitors might be best served by these threads being closed off by Rob with the suggestion to use the Negril.com fx link.

A reminder to never, ever, don't ever change money on the street. I learned the hard way.:(

Sunray, I didn't pull those numbers out of thin air. That info was copied directly from the Oanda currency exchange site. Today it list the exchange as 1-1.535 and the currency converter linked by Rob on the main page of this site list the exchange at 1-1.54 so where is the inaccuracy? Also here is a link to the FX Trader page for the current daily exchange which lists the rate in that same range: http://www.fxtrader.gkmsonline.com/rates FX Trader is the cambio I use in Negril

Ok I see the confusion it is 1 pound sterling to 1.5 US$ I humbly ask for forgiveness and agree that the rate listings can be confusing. But hey I'm a Yank what do I know from pounds and pence...

the FX Trader is the one to go by....that is the Western Union/Cambio place beside HiLo
some of these other internet rate places are way off da money.........
this winter mi took a peak and one internet site said 92.5 and wi were getting 91.5 in Negril........

Cool Runnings, Marko

Here is a dashboard widget for Mac that is right on the money (pun intended). I look at the rate which is updated every 30 mins and when Linston goes to the ATM it's right on.

I think there's a widget for the PC also
