Hong Kong banknotes include issues of the Hong Kong dollar, produced by three licensed banks and the government, reflecting the region’s economic, political and cultural development from the 20th century to the present. The series feature historical figures, Chinese and local cultural elements, regional identity motifs, contemporary architecture, urban landscapes and symbolic references to Hong Kong’s financial and economic growth, accompanying monetary reforms, administrative transitions and phases of financial modernization. Due to their design variety, variants, signatures and historical relevance within Asia and worldwide, Hong Kong paper money is appreciated in international numismatics and sought after by world banknote collectors.
