Coins in Circulation

The Government issues coins of $10, $5, $2, $1, 50 cents, 20 cents and 10 cents. In 1993, a new series depicting the bauhinia flower was launched to replace the Queen's portrait series (which remains legal tender). The first bauhinia coins, the $5 and $2 coins, were issued in January 1993. New $1, 50-cent and 20-cent coins were issued in October 1993, and new 10-cent coin in May 1994. The $10 coin, the latest in the bauhinia series, was issued in November 1994.

The total value of coins in circulation in Hong Kong can be found in Monthly Statistical Bulletin and the Monetary Stability chapter of the Annual Report.
