When you buy Jamaican dollars, the exchange rate you get is the amount of Jamaican dollars you'll receive for every pound that you spend, so for example a rate of 212.985 means you'd get $212.985 for each £1 that you spend. You can calculate the total amount of Jamaican dollars you'd receive for a given amount of sterling by simply multiplying the sterling amount by the exchange rate.
When it comes to selling Jamaican dollars, the buyback rate is expressed in terms of how many Jamaican dollars you'd need to sell in order to get £1, so a buyback rate of 212.985 means you'd need to sell $212.985 to get £1. To calculate the sterling value of a given amount of Jamaican dollars, you need to divide the Jamaican dollar amount by the buyback rate. Since you're dividing by the buyback rate, a lower buyback rate means you'd get more sterling compared to a higher buyback rate.
One Jamaican dollar ($) can be subdivided into 100 cents (c), although cents are no longer used due to their low value and the smallest unit of currency you're likely to come across is the $1 coin. There are five denominations of Jamaican dollar banknotes in circulation: $50, $100, $500, $1000 and $5000; and four coin denominations: $1, $5, $10 and $20.
The current series of Jamaican dollar banknotes in circulation is the '2017 Series' which was introduced by the Bank of Jamaica in 2017. Each banknote in the series features a portrait of a national hero or notable Jamaican figure on the obverse side, while the reverse side showcases iconic Jamaican landmarks, flora, and fauna. For example, the $50 note features the portrait of Nanny of the Maroons; a prominent leader of the Jamaican Maroons, on the front and an illustration of the Doctor Bird (Jamaica's national bird) on the back. The higher denominations, such as the $1000 and $5000 notes, feature portraits of notable Jamaican figures like Marcus Garvey and Sir Donald Sangster along with depictions of historical buildings and natural landscapes.
