Bank of Jamaica Money Museum
Bank of Jamaica Money Museum Review
You don't have to be a numismatist to enjoy the exhibits at this museum, which offers a fascinating look at Jamaica's history through its monetary system. It includes everything from glass beads used as currency by the Taíno Indians to Spanish gold pieces to currency of the present day. There's also a parallel exhibit on the general history of currency through world history.
