Fun facts about Hong Kong currency

  • Interestingly, three banks, HSBC, Standard Chartered, and the Bank of China, issue the notes. This means there are some subtle unique elements, such as logos and signatures, that vary depending on the issuing bank.
  • Alongside English and Chinese text, Hong Kong banknotes also feature Arabic numerals.

Travel Money Trivia - HKD edition

  • The Hong Kong dollar was unified as legal tender in 1937.
  • The HKD is the 9th most traded currency in the world, despite only being used in Hong Kong and Macau.
  • Together with South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan, Hong Kong is part of the ‘4 Asian Tigers’ – known for their fierce and rapidly grown economies.
  • HKD coins started gradually replacing the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with a depiction of a Bauhinia flower in 1993, four years prior to the end of British rule in Hong Kong. So they just went from one beauty to another, really.
