Money

I always take US $, but change it into JMD in Negril. The breakdown I use for my USD is the pretty close to what you posted. My tips are usually in USD, but when I'm out and about I use JMD. If you pay in USD, chances are you will get change in JMD. Hope that helps.

Ditto. This works best for me. My trips are long stays so I take LOTS of singles for tips. I usually exchange at least $100US at a time so take 100s & 50s for exchanges. I pretty much only use US$ when paying for an outing or airport transfer. Day to day transactions... much better off using J$.

BTW... the exchange rate on travelers checks is less than exchanging cash at most cambios.
