Hong Kong

Himanshu was on trip to Honk Kong (special adminstative colony of China) for a seminar and brought 20 Hong Kong Dollars and coins.

It is one of the most beautiful currency in my collection.






The Hong Kong dollar has been pegged to the United States dollar since 17 October 1983 at HK$7.80 per U.S. dollar through the currency board system.
1 USD = 7.81 HKD
1 HKD = .12USD
