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.
