The Hong Kong Dollar, introduced in 1863, stands out for its unique peg to the US Dollar since 1983, maintaining a range between HK$7.75 and HK$7.85 per US Dollar. This arrangement, known as the Linked Exchange Rate System, has been integral in maintaining Hong Kong’s financial stability, making it one of the most traded currencies globally. Adding to its uniqueness, three commercial banks, rather than a central bank, issue its banknotes: HSBC, Standard Chartered, and the Bank of China. Each bank produces its own design, making Hong Kong’s currency a fascinating representation of both economic collaboration and cultural diversity. These aspects have helped transform Hong Kong into a paramount international financial hub.
