The Bank of Jamaica rolled out new banknotes on Thursday that are made from polymer, or plastic-based material, with the central bank saying it would be incorporating information on how to handle the new money in the introduction campaign to come.

Jamaican traders, vendors and transport service providers are used to folding or crumbling money in the normal course of business.

But BOJ is warning against that type of treatment for the new bills.
