About Thai Baht (฿)
The Thai Baht (THB, ISO 4217 code 764, symbol ฿) is the official currency of the Kingdom of Thailand, issued by the Bank of Thailand (BoT, est. 1942). Subdivided into 100 satang. Banknotes: ฿20 (King Rama IX commemorative; King Rama X regular series), ฿50, ฿100, ฿500, ฿1000 (current Series 17 introduced 2018 featuring King Rama X — Maha Vajiralongkorn — replacing King Rama IX Bhumibol Adulyadej after his death October 13, 2016); coins: 25 satang, 50 satang, ฿1, ฿2, ฿5, ฿10. The baht (or tical historically — old British usage) has been the unit of measure for gold trade in Thailand for centuries (1 baht of gold = 15.244 grams of 96.5% pure gold). The Asian Financial Crisis of July 2, 1997 began with the floating of the Thai baht (which had been pegged at ฿25 per USD) after BoT exhausted reserves defending the peg — the baht devalued ~50% in 6 months. Thailand is Southeast Asia's 2nd-largest economy after Indonesia. BoT targets 1-3% CPI inflation per the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) inflation-targeting framework adopted 2000.
About Hong Kong Dollar (HK$)
The Hong Kong Dollar (HKD, ISO 4217 code 344, symbol HK$) is the official currency of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, issued by three commercial banks under license from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA, est. 1993): HSBC, Standard Chartered Hong Kong, and Bank of China (Hong Kong). Subdivided into 100 cents. Banknotes: HK$10 (HKMA-issued, polymer), HK$20, HK$50, HK$100, HK$500, HK$1000 (commercial-bank issued, each bank's series featuring distinct designs); coins: 10¢, 20¢, 50¢, HK$1, HK$2, HK$5, HK$10. HKD is pegged to USD under the Linked Exchange Rate System since October 17, 1983 — the convertibility band is HK$7.75-7.85 per USD with HKMA's strong-side and weak-side convertibility undertakings. This makes HKD effectively a USD proxy. HKD circulates alongside CNY in cross-border trade but capital flows are managed by mainland authorities. Hong Kong is the world's 4th-largest FX trading center per BIS Triennial Survey.
