Jamaican vs. US currency

[ukran1ans]

ukran1ans : since I am Canadian I use Jamaican dollars when I am there but I have a question for you. If you return to Jamaica yearly (or more), why bother changing back on your way out. I always carry Jamaican home so that when I return I don't have to head to a cambio or bank for a while.

That's actually a good point (I guess I was only doing that exchange back the first few times I was here, not knowing I'd fall in luv with the island.. lol). I've been doing the 'US $$$'s only' for a while now so exchanging back hasn't been an issue. The only Jamaican I use now is just the change I get back from the locals when I only have big bills.

Hussyband, here's a good read from economic pros if you're still curious...
