Notice about shredded banknote paperweights sold by the HKMA

It has recently come to the attention of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) that shredded banknote paperweights sold at the HKMA Information Centre contain pebbles to make them heavier and enhance their function as paperweights. Therefore, the number of shredded banknotes inside each paperweight falls short of the approximate number stated on the paperweight label.  If any member of the public who has purchased a paperweight wishes to return the product, they are advised to contact the HKMA Information Centre by calling the Hotline (2878-1111) or by email (info_centre@hkma.gov.hk) to arrange for a refund.

The HKMA apologises for any inconvenience caused.
