This is a new version of the $50 notes released on 24.3.2014. The design of this note is the same as the previous $50 issued but with new appearance of the serial number on the top right corner. This serial number has a wave shape and the last 3 digits set against a blue background. This is a hybrid note that the note was manufactured with a combination of protective polyester film layered around a cotton fiber core. The polyester film on the note makes it more durable. Whilst the cost for manufacturing such notes are more expensive, overall the bank expects to save substantially in the long run as the Hybrid banknote is expect to last at least 50% longer than the cotton based paper notes. In term of the appearance, this note is printed slightly difference from the previous issue as you can see the raised prints on both side of the note. This is the second Jamaican banknotes issued with protective polyester film layered around a cotton fiber core. The 2012 $100 commemorative note was also manufactured/printed with such technology. The new $50 note is dated 1.6.2013 and bears the signature of the bank's governor, Brian Wynter. Like the 2012 $100 commemorative Hybrid note, this note is also printed by Giesecke & Devrient (G&D). Jamaica has now issued Hybrid notes printed both by De La Rue (J$5,000) and Giesecke & Devrient.
