I had spoke to a group late one evening about currency and given out some Jamaican $10 bills and had some left. Since it was late I knew I was out of luck for supper at home so I zipped into the drive-in window at a local burger joint. The girl said, “That’ll be $6.04 sir.” Without flinching I handed her a Jamaican $10. She closed the window and looked at it hard, she then called for someone else (the manager I suppose) and he looked at it and shrugged his shoulders and shook his head as he walked off. I figured I would hear that they didn’t take those. Instead to my amazement she hands me $3.96 in CHANGE !!! I gave her a US $10 and said she could keep the other one for a tip but to put the US one in the register.
The ONLY similarities of the two notes are they both say 10 Dollars.... GO FIGURE!
