The canoe thread of 93:1 for happy hour made me remember our fist trip to jamaica... The exchange rate according to an old slip I have was 37:1... And I bet I still have coins left from that trip somewhere.
Looked on line this am, exchange (through ex) is 97..49:1
I think at this rate I will soon be able to do the math in my head, no matter the condition...
I found some old Jamaican coins the other day - 25 cent pieces. They are worth a lotOriginally Posted by Hussyband

I've got some Jamaican 1 and 2 dollar bills from way back. They mean more as souvenirs.
Here's a question that someone might be able to answer. We're confused about how change works in Jamaica. All the coins/bills are in whole dollars but sometimes we see cents on our bill. How does this work? For example you get a bill for $623.09? there are no coins that are a fraction of dollar so how can this be?

my first trip in 93 the rate was 8-1. The good old days.
OK since we're talking about the old days........
The first exchange rate I got was 88 Ja CENTS to the American dollar.

wow. its so cool to hear about how things were years back. I thought the airport terminal was so unique also when i first started going. Open air terminal, its for sure changed now
I am pretty sure they were using clams then (ala the flintstones) either that, or you are making stuff up! (Just teasing you)
OK , so I just read that the Us dollar hit $99.00 today!
