Currency units: 1 $ (Dollar) = 100 c (cents)
Still circulating currency
The inaugural circulating coinage of the decimal Jamaican Dollar introduced in 1969 to replace the pound. This historic batch is characterized by its heavy, large-format denominations struck in cupro-nickel, brass, and aluminum. It features distinct geometric shapes, such as the scalloped 10 Cents and the rounded-square 5 Cents, all displaying the classic Coat of Arms of Jamaica.
The comprehensive modern coinage era of independent Jamaica, defined by the prominent depiction of the nation's National Heroes on regular circulating issues. This extensive batch captures both the iconic heptagonal (7-sided) base-metal formats introduced in 1993 and the subsequent 2008 technical modernization, which downsized the coins and shifted them to high-security plated steel-core blanks while preserving the classic portrait layouts.
