Banknotes of Hong Kong

In most countries of the world the issue of banknotes is handled exclusively by a single central bank or government. The arrangements in Hong Kong are unusual but not unique, The Government, through the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, authorises three commercial banks to issue currency notes in Hong Kong:
- The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited;
- the Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited;
- and the Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited.

Hong Kong banknotes in everyday circulation are $10, $20, $50, $100, $500 and $1,000.
