The Monetary Authority and the three note-issuing banks today unveiled a series of Hong Kong banknotes.
The new notes consist of five denominations. The two denominations unveiled today, $100 and $500, will be put into circulation in December.
The other three denominations, $20, $50 and $1,000, will go into circulation in the second half of 2004. The authority will co-ordinate the issue of the first batch of new notes on the same day.
