Currency Exchange

Jamaican law requires that the local currency be used when paying for all goods and services, though that law is followed very loosely and the U.S. dollar is accepted almost universally. There are exchange bureau in airports, hotels, and commercial banks. When you make an exchange, keep all receipts because you must present them upon departure when you reconvert unspent currency.
