He told me that not all of Jamaica thought it was a good idea to change the image. This is because some relied on the “image” to tell the difference between the denomination rather then the numbers on the currency. Often the 100J and 1,000J were mixed up. You use a 100J when payment was more, the vendor or recipient made you aware of your mistake so you went digging for the 1000J. But if the mistake was reversed, sometimes you were SOL!

I still think it’s cool to have such a special piece of history that will come with me on every visit.

And (((Sammy))), thanks bunches for the beautiful journal for this reach.
