Hong Kong dollar
The exchange rate is pegged and is approximately MOP$1.03 for HK$1, and Hong Kong dollar banknotes and coins are generally accepted at par or MOP$1.00 for retail payments. For United States dollars, to which the Hong Kong dollar is in turn loosely pegged, the exchange rate is around 8 patacas to 1 US dollar. Although it is possible to exchange patacas in Macau, it is either difficult or impossible to do so elsewhere. The few places in Hong Kong where patacas are available are concentrated on Cleverly Street in Central, a short distance from the Hong Kong–Macau Ferry Terminal.
