Converting from Jamaican Dollar (JMD) to Neth Antilles Guilder (ANG)

What is Jamaican Dollar (JMD)

The Jamaican Dollar (JMD) is the official currency of Jamaica, an island nation in the Caribbean. Introduced in 1969, the Jamaican Dollar replaced the Jamaican Pound at a rate of 1 Dollar to 1.20 Pounds. The currency is symbolized by “＄” or “J＄” to distinguish it from other currencies that also use the dollar sign.

The Jamaican Dollar is subdivided into 100 cents. Coins come in denominations of 1, 5, 10, and 20 cents, as well as 1, 5, and 10 dollars. Banknotes are available in denominations of 50, 100, 500, 1,000, and 5,000 dollars. The currency is issued by the Bank of Jamaica, which also manages monetary policy and financial stability for the nation.

Jamaica’s economy relies heavily on tourism, agriculture, and mining. As a result, the value of the Jamaican Dollar can fluctuate significantly based on global market conditions and local economic performance. Factors such as inflation, exchange rates, and political stability can all impact the JMD’s value.
