Hong Kong Dollars Banknotes & Coins We Accept

About Hong Kong Dollar Exchange

The Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) is the official currency of Hong Kong, one of Asia’s most vibrant financial centres. We accept all denominations of Hong Kong Dollar banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.

Current Hong Kong Dollar Banknotes

Hong Kong’s banknotes are unusual in that they are issued by three separate note-issuing banks: the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC), Standard Chartered Bank, and the Bank of China (Hong Kong). All three institutions produce their own distinct designs across a range of denominations, including higher-value notes such as the HKD 500 Bank of China note and the HKD 1,000 Bank of China note. We accept all current banknotes regardless of which bank issued them.

Old Series & Damaged Notes

Unlike most high street exchanges, we also buy older Hong Kong Dollar banknotes that are no longer in general circulation. Whether you have an earlier Bank of China issue such as the HKD 1,000 note issued in 2001 or a HKD 100 note from 1994, we will make you an offer. Damaged notes are also accepted provided they remain at least 50% intact, though the rate applied will be slightly lower than for notes in good condition.

Hong Kong Dollar Coins

We accept Hong Kong Dollar coins across all denominations, including the HKD 1 coin, the HKD 5 coin, and smaller denominations such as the 10 cent and 20 cent pieces. Coins are exchanged at a slightly lower rate than banknotes due to the additional handling costs involved, but we will always give you a fair return on whatever you have.

Hong Kong Dollar Exchange FAQ

Do you accept Hong Kong Dollar notes issued by different banks?

Yes! Hong Kong is unique in having three note-issuing banks — HSBC, Standard Chartered, and Bank of China (Hong Kong) — each producing their own designs. We accept banknotes issued by all three institutions across all denominations, so there is no need to worry about which bank printed your notes.

I have older Hong Kong Dollar banknotes from the 1990s and early 2000s — can I still exchange them?

Yes, we accept older Hong Kong Dollar notes including earlier Bank of China issues from the 1990s and 2000s, such as the 1994 and 2001 series. The rate for older notes may be slightly lower than for current issues, but we will always make you a fair offer rather than turning them away.

Can I exchange Hong Kong Dollar coins as well as banknotes?

Yes, we accept Hong Kong Dollar coins including denominations such as the 10 cent, 20 cent, 50 cent, HKD 1, HKD 2, and HKD 5 pieces. Coins are exchanged at a slightly lower rate than banknotes to account for handling costs, but we accept them where most other exchanges will not.

How do I send my Hong Kong Dollars to you and when will I be paid?

Simply box up your Hong Kong Dollar notes and coins and post them to us yourself. Once we receive and verify your currency, we will pay you within 5 working days by bank transfer or PayPal. If for any reason you are not happy with our offer, we will return your currency to you free of charge.

Are Hong Kong Dollars easy to exchange in the UK?

Hong Kong Dollars are not widely exchanged by UK high street banks, and most will decline coins or older note series entirely. We specialise in currencies that are tricky to exchange elsewhere — if you also have leftover Chinese Yuan or Singapore Dollars from a trip to the region, we can help with those too.
