About Hong Kong dollar
Hong Kong dollar (abbreviated as "HKD") is currency used in Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong. It is also circulated in Macau, alongside Macanese patacas.

Hong Kong dollar has unusual issuance policy where three commercial banks (HSBC, Bank of China and Standard Chartered) have license to issue HKD along with the Hong Kong monetary authority itself.
