<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Notaphylic_C, post: 25646534, member: 130786&quot;]I lived in Jamaica for 2 years (1995-1996).&nbsp; During that time, I only came across the $100, which at the time was equivalent to $4.00 CAD in UNC collectible condition. This may not seem like much today but at that time (where my pay was about 1/3 what I&#039;d receive in Canada) that $100 could buy me lunch or a taxi trip across Kingston (essential for my security). So despite the fact that I often got runs of UNC Hundreds, I never tucked one away as a souvenir.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I corrected that oversight &amp; picked up the four $100 notes below since they reminded me of my time there &amp; they feature a fun spot, Dunn&#039;s River Falls on the north side of the island (near Oche Rios). We walked up this shallow river &amp; it has brought back fond memories of those fun weekend excursions.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>P-74b</b> 1987 $100[ATTACH=full]1640731[/ATTACH]</p><p>This 1987 $100 has 2 horizontal serial numbers plus two vertical bars for the blind (left of Sangster&#039;s face). This, &amp; the 1986 version lacks a security strip &amp; can be tough to source as they&#039;ve long been out of circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>P-80</b> 2004 $100</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1640733[/ATTACH]</p><p>This 2004 version looks much like the 1990&#039;s versions (P-76) with the bars &amp; circles to the right, a vertical oriented serial number (to the left) &amp; a security thread running through the centre.&nbsp; One of these days, I&#039;ll pick up a <b>P-76</b> (from 1995 or 1996 hopefully) but must wait until I see one.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>P-90</b> 2012 Commemorative Jubilee $100[ATTACH=full]1640734[/ATTACH]</p><p>This special 2012 version employs the &quot;<i>Out of Many One People</i>&quot; line &amp; school children image seen on the old $2.00 note design replacing Dunn&#039;s River Falls on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>P-95 2021 &quot;hybrid&quot; $100</p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]1640736[/ATTACH]</p><p>This design had an interesting swirly serial number on the top right, the last 3 digits are in a green leaf.&nbsp; Its also made of a paper/polymer blend substrate (if just feels very different from the paper versions). That&#039;s why they call it a hybrid (probably like the 2009 Bermuda notes). They&#039;re made in Germany (rather than TDLR from the UK). I would imagine they would difficult or next to impossible to counterfeit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
