I went to the new NCB bank ATM drivethru in the new complex in Negril and pulled out 30,000 J..my net on my card was 129.5 to one..that was last week

These days (trying to act like a Jamaican in every way) I just carry around just a few small Jamaican bills in a pocket. And one card just in case. Most stores take credit cards so there's no need to carry lots of cash. I used to walk around with a fat wallet stuffed with US and Jamaican cash as well as cards. Bad idea - it's like pinning a "rob me" sign on your pants. After getting robbed in Kingston I decided to stop acting like a dumb tourist and start acting like a smart Jamaican...

I usually start each day with just $10K-$15K JMD walking around money with a credit card (only for emergencies). The wallet (with most of my cash) stays in a nice safety deposit box. Most of the lil places I like to hit, don't take credit cards (not at least til dinner)...

I always do it when I get there at Western Union or one of the Cambios in Negril. Banks in Canada gouge you for any currency exchange.
