| Comments |
The 500 Dollars Golden Jubilee note was issued to mark Jamaica's fiftieth year of independence from Britain — a political irony that apparently went unremarked, given that the note was printed in London by the same firm that has supplied Jamaican currency for most of the island's post-independence history. De La Rue's near-continuous relationship with the Bank of Jamaica stretches back to the early independence-era notes of the 1960s.
Pick 91 is a commemorative issue, not a replacement series, and was released into general circulation rather than sold solely as a collector item.
