What currency does Hong Kong use?<\/p>\n

Hong Kong has its own currency, known as the Hong Kong dollar (HKD), which is the official tender for financial transactions in the region. The Hong Kong dollar is denoted as HKD$ or simply HK$ in currency exchange offices and is widely accepted across all sectors in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

The Hong Kong dollar has been the official currency of Hong Kong since 1863, when it replaced various foreign currencies that were used at the time. The currency is issued by three commercial banks authorized by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority: HSBC, Bank of China, and Standard Chartered Bank.<\/p>\n

The Hong Kong dollar is subdivided into 100 cents, and coins are available in denominations of 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, HK$1, HK$2, HK$5, and HK$10. Banknotes come in denominations of HK$10, HK$20, HK$50, HK$100, HK$500, and HK$1000.<\/p>\n
