The Hong Kong dollar is the common currency. The official exchange rate is fixed at 7.80 HKD to 1 USD, although bank rates may fluctuate slightly. Issued by three banks (HSBC [a.k.a. Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation], Standard Chartered Bank and Bank of China) and with different versions in which the style varies a lot, these multi-coloured, and increasing in size, banknotes come in denominations of:
$10, green or purple (The purple note is issued by the government)
$20, dark blue or light blue (old or new)
$50, purple or green (old or new)
$100, red
$500, brown
$1000, gold
Some shops do not accept $1000 notes due to counterfeiting concerns.
The coins come in units of
$10, in bronze/silver, circular
$5, in silver, circular, thicker
$2, in silver, wavey-circular
$1, in silver, circular, thinner
50c, in bronze, circular, larger
20c, in bronze, wavey-circular
10c, in bronze, circular, smaller
varying in a descending size (except $10 coin)
