The Bank of Jamaica started issuing these $5,000 banknotes in 2009.

Have no fear, today I will be showing you what features to look for and some facts about the Jamaican $5,000 bill so you can be in the know. Have you ever really taken the time to know the features of the notes you hold so dear? What if you ended up with a counterfeit one, how would you know? Do you know you could be charged for circulating a counterfeit note as it is illegal? How would you declare your innocence? These are all very important questions.

One thing I know for sure, that will never happen to him again, :-). As you can imagine, he had to bear the loss, just like that.

The remittance agency advised him that all their notes are checked three times (once using a UV light) so he had not received the counterfeit note from them. Naturally, he compared it with the remaining ones he had and realized that particular one was different.

He got his correct change and just as he stepped out, he was called back and told that the note was no good. He went to a local shop during the course of the day to purchase a few items valuing about $1,200. I personally know of someone who went to a remittance agency and received what he thought to be genuine 5,000 dollar notes. So can you imagine if you lost one of them or even get scammed through counterfeit! Certainly, we canвЂ™t have that. For a lot of persons, this represents half of a weekвЂ™s pay. The $5,000 banknote in Jamaica is the highest value banknote in Jamaica (worth USD 33 currently). What would you do with $5,000 right now? I bet you could think of a few things or a lot of things depending on your currency. See Also: Jamaica Bank Notes In Circulation Today
