Notes:
|
Hong Kong dollar is the legal tender in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, as stated in "The Basic Law of |
|
the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China". Foreign currency refers to any currency |
|
other than the Hong Kong currency. Accordingly Chinese Renminbi is also treated as foreign currency. |
