| Comments |
The Bank of Jamaica's 100-dollar series through the 1990s occupied an awkward transitional period in Caribbean currency security, when De La Rue was actively pushing segmented foil application as an upgrade over older metallic thread alone. Jamaica was among the earlier adopters of this combined approach in the region, though the foil patches on notes from this run are known to delaminate with even modest handling — a recurring complaint that collectors and dealers flagged consistently through the late 1990s.
The P#76 series ran across six years without a major redesign, a notably long production cycle for a denomination this size in an economy that saw persistent inflationary pressure during the period.
