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.
