Notes: Pataca (MOP) is the legal tender in the Macao Special Administrative Region, as stated in "The Basic Law of the Macao Special Administrative 
          Region of the People's Republic of China". Foreign currency refers to any currency other than the Pataca. Accordingly P.R. China Renminbi is 
          also treated as foreign currency.          
          On 1/1/2002, the Euro banknotes and coins were introduced to the Euro zone where member states gradually discontinued the circulations of 
              their original currencies.
