What you need to know about the currency Hong Kong Dollar
The Hong Kong dollar (HKD) has been the currency in circulation in Hong Kong since 1863, when the British Empire established the mint in this administrative region of China. Until then, foreign coins were used for transactions. Its symbol is HK$.
Nowadays, there are banknotes of Hong Kong dollars in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, and 1000 HKD in circulation. In 2009 and 2015, commemorative legal tender banknotes of 150 HK$ were issued, although they are not easily found. They were made to celebrate the anniversary of the Bank of Hong Kong.
The currencies of Hong Kong are 10, 20, and 50 cents, and 1, 2, 5, and 10 dollars. One dollar is divided into 100 Hong Kong cents. All of them feature the regional flower bauhinia blakeana and other identifying symbols of the country.
At the beginning of 1993, the coins featuring the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II gradually disappeared, a remnant of Hong Kong's colonial past. There are still some in circulation and they have already become collector's items.
The Hong Kong dollar is also accepted in Macau. There it backs the Macanese pataca, the official currency of the island. Between the two currencies, there is a fixed and unlimited exchange rate.

Any questions? We will resolve them for you:
What is the best exchange rate from Australian dollars to Hong Kong dollars?
Hong Kong dollars exchange rates fluctuate and change daily. You can check the exchange rate of the day in the information panel of our calculator by selecting Australian dollars to Hong Kong dollars rate or in any of Global Exchange offices.
Will I be charged a commission for changing my Australian dollars into Hong Kong dollars?
No, Global Exchange does not charge any commissions or fees for exchanging Australian dollars to into Hong Kong dollars. All transactions (at the offices or online) worth AUD 1,000 or above are fee-free. We only have a small margin, which is lower when you change your currency online than when you change it in person at the airport.
Do I get the same Australian dollar into Hong Kong dollars exchange rate in this website or in any of your offices?
No, the Australian dollar to Hong Kong dollars exchange rate that applies to orders placed on the Global Exchange website in Australia is more advantageous to you than at the airport offices. This ensures you get the best exchange rates online. If you need more information or have any questions, please contact our contact form.
How will I be delivered the Hong Kong dollars I ordered online?
After placing your Click & Collect order online, you can collect it from our offices at Sydney Airport. As well as getting the best exchange rate for your online exchange (more travel cash for the same price), this service saves you time and reduces anxiety, as you'll have the currency you need ready for your trip abroad.
Why does the Australian dollar to Hong Kong dollars exchange rate seem cheaper and more attractive in the Internet than in exchange businesses?
The exchange rates shown in Internet currency converters are for currency wholesalers (foreign exchange transactions for financial and international trade companies), not for the public. Those cheaper rates are for the foreign exchange, not for currency exchange operations in cash.
What is the difference between foreign exchange and currency exchange?
Foreign exchange (Forex, for short) is the market that establishes the value of the currencies in which international transactions will be performed, at a wholesale level. Currency exchange, on the other hand, is the market in which individual currencies are sold in retail on a certain price depending on demand. Currency exchange entails cash transactions, thus adding logistic costs, and therefore their exchange rates are somewhat “worse” than the Forex rates, which only move money between accounts.
What is the difference of changing my Australian dollars to Hong Kong dollars with you or at a bank?
Banks charge margins and commissions, and you will have to go twice: to order the money and to pick it up. At Global Exchange you can place your foreign currency order online and pick up your foreign currency order at the airport before boarding.
