If there were a contest for the coolest currency in the world, and perhaps the one you would most likely keep just to look at later, it would definitely be Hong Kong’s. Isn’t it neat? Another interesting note is that the private banks also issue money here, hence the logos. We LOVE our Hong Kong [...]
