On 8 September 1969, banknotes of 50 cents (5 shillings), $1 (10 shillings), $2 (£1), and $10 (£5) were introduced. The $5 note was introduced on 20 October 1970, followed by the $20 in June 1976, when the 50 cent note was replaced by a coin. $100 notes were added on 2 December 1986, followed by $50 notes on 27 July 1988. The $2 note was dropped in 1989, whilst the $1 note was replaced by a coin in 1990. In 1994, coins replaced the $5 notes and $500 notes were introduced. In 1999, $10 coins replaced notes, whilst, in 2000, $20 coins replaced the notes and $1000 notes were introduced.

Frequently asked questions
What periods and denominations are represented in the Jamaica banknote catalog?
This Jamaica catalog covers notes dated from 1970 to 2010, with examples from several stages of the Jamaican dollar series. Denominations represented include $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 and $500. The catalog includes early references such as P54–P57, later issues including P64b, P68Ad, P69d/e and P70d, and modern examples such as P83b/c, P84c, P85a and P88. These records describe the shop’s catalog selection rather than every Jamaican banknote issue.
Which Jamaica banknotes have multiple Pick references or variants in this catalog?
Several denominations are represented by related Pick references or variants. The $2 denomination appears as P69d and P69e, while the $10 denomination includes P71c, P71d and P71e. The $50 group includes P73b, P83b, P83c and P88, spanning different dated issues. The $1 denomination is represented by P54, P64b and P68Ad. Comparing the Pick reference, date and signature information is useful when organising these notes as separate catalog entries.
How can I identify a Jamaica banknote listed in this catalog?
Begin with the denomination and date shown in the listing title, then compare the Pick reference with the note itself or with a trusted catalog. Signature information is also useful: several listings specify signatures such as S4, S7, S9, S10, S11 or S12. Related references may represent different dates or variants, so details such as P71d 1991 and P71d 1992 should not be treated as identical records without checking the date and other design features.
What details should collectors record when cataloguing these Jamaica notes?
For a Jamaica banknote from this catalog, record the denomination, date, Pick reference and, where supplied, the signature number. Condition is another important cataloguing field: most listed examples are marked UNC, while the P79e $50 note is marked XF. It is also helpful to group related references, such as the $2 P69d/P69e or the $10 P71c/P71d/P71e series. Keep the listing information alongside photographs or scans for future comparison.
What should I check before buying a Jamaica banknote from this catalog?
Check that the denomination, dated issue, Pick reference and signature description match the note you want. Pay attention to condition terminology: UNC and XF describe different grades, so they should not be treated as interchangeable. If an entry includes a specific note-image statement, compare the supplied image carefully with the description. The catalog records also include related variants, so confirm whether you are selecting the intended reference, such as P71d for the relevant year.
What signature pattern can be seen among the dated Jamaica notes in this catalog?
The catalog shows a sequence of signature-designated notes across several periods. The 1970 P54–P57 group carries S4, the 1982/86 P64b note carries S7, and late-1980s to mid-1990s examples include S9, S10, S11 and S12. For instance, P71c is listed with S9, P71d with S10, and P71e with S12. Later catalog records, including several 2000s notes, do not state a signature number in their descriptions.
