What is HKD currency?

The currency code HKD refers to the Hong Kong dollar - the official currency of Hong Kong.

When was the HKD introduced?

When Hong Kong was first founded, the currency which was mainly used was the silver dollar - although as is to be expected in a trading and financial centre, other major currencies also circulated. The silver dollar remained the main currency until 1935 when a silver crisis led to a decision to link Hong Kong dollars to pounds sterling instead of the silver standard. One dollar HKD notes were introduced at around the same time, and the HKD was recognised as the official currency by the government.

What is the currency symbol for the Hong Kong dollar?

The symbol used for the Hong Kong dollar may simply be $, or HK$ to differentiate from other dollar currencies. The Chinese character 元 is also used to show Hong Kong dollars - while currency exchanges and other official sources may use the code HKD.

How much is a Hong Kong dollar worth?

Best HKD exchange rate?
