About Indonesian Rupiah (Rp)

The Indonesian Rupiah (IDR, ISO 4217 code 360, symbol Rp) is the official currency of the Republic of Indonesia, issued by Bank Indonesia (BI, est. 1953). Subdivided into 100 sen (no longer in use). Banknotes: Rp1,000 (rarely circulated paper version, replaced by coin), Rp2,000, Rp5,000, Rp10,000, Rp20,000, Rp50,000, Rp75,000 (commemorative 75th Independence Day issue 2020), Rp100,000 (featuring Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta, Indonesia's founding fathers); coins: Rp50, Rp100, Rp200, Rp500, Rp1,000. The 1997-1998 Asian Financial Crisis devastated the rupiah โ€” IDR fell from ~Rp2,400 per USD to over Rp16,000 per USD at peak crisis, contributing to President Suharto's resignation May 1998. Indonesia removed three zeros from the rupiah in 1965 and has periodically discussed further redenomination ('Sanering') legislation. Indonesia is Southeast Asia's largest economy (~$1.4T GDP) and the world's 4th-most-populous country (~280 million). BI targets 2.5% ยฑ 1% CPI inflation per the Monetary Policy Framework Agreement.

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: 10ยข, 20ยข, 50ยข, HK$1, HK$2, HK$5, HK$10. HKD is pegged to USD under the Linked Exchange Rate System since October 17, 1983 โ€” 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.
