History reference:
The state monetary unit of Hungary is the Hungarian Forint (Hungarian Forint, international code - HUF). Used since 1946, before that the pengő was used as the Hungarian currency, which could not sur...vive the largest hyperinflation in history. Previously, forints had small change coins - fillers, but now they are out of circulation. When the Hungarian National Bank first issued the new currency, banknotes denoting 10 and 100 forints entered circulation. Each forint was subdivided into 100 fillers. Until 1991, following the inflationary processes, the National Bank expanded the available set of banknotes by issuing banknotes with a higher denomination. Later, it was decided to revise the design of the currency, and since 2001, on each banknote, on the one hand, a Hungarian statesman is depicted, and on the other, an event associated with his activities. It should be noted that there are no watermarks on the forints. Protection against counterfeiters is provided, first of all, by a holographic strip.

History reference:
The Hong Kong dollar is the currency of Hong Kong (the full name of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China) - from 1895 to the present day in the forex market wi...th a break during World War II, when the military yen was introduced during the Japanese occupation. At its inception, the Hong Kong dollar was equal to 24.2611 grams of pure silver. After the abolition of the silver standard in 1935, the ratio was already established to the pound sterling at 1 dollar to 15 pence. Hong Kong dollars are also in circulation in the Administrative Region of Macau on a semi-legal basis. The fact is that quite a few Hong Kong residents come to Macau by ferry, especially on weekends. The pataca (Macau) exchange rate is equal to the HKD exchange rate, and therefore, outlets accept both Hong Kong dollars and pataca without any problems.
