Notes in Circulation

Hong Kong dollar notes in everyday circulation are $10, $20, $50, $100, $500 and $1,000. The $20, $50, $100, $500 and $1,000 notes are issued by the three note-issuing banks. The 2010 Series and other old series banknotes remain legal tender and will continue to circulate along with the 2018 Series. The Government has been issuing the $10 paper notes since 2002 in response to continuing public demand and the $10 polymer notes since 2007. The $10 notes issued by two note-issuing banks in the 1990s remain legal tender, but are no longer printed.

The total value of notes in circulation in Hong Kong can be found in Monthly Statistical Bulletin and the Monetary Stability chapter of the Annual Report.
