Hong Kong Dollar to Indonesian Rupiah

The Hong Kong dollar (symbol: HK$, codes: HKD and 344) is the official currency of Hong Kong since 1934. It is subdivided into 100 cents. Currently, there are several generations of banknotes with denominations ranging from 10 to 1000 dollars, all of them being legal tenders.

In Hong Kong, local money is referred to as "man”, derived from the English word “money” and this is explained by strong influence of American culture. Although cent coins physically exist, hou- one tenth of a dollar is a subunit for accounting.

The Indonesian Rupiah (symbol: Rp, code: IDR, number: 360) is the official currency of Indonesia. Informally Indonesians use the word "perak" ("silver" in Indonesian) in referring to rupiah. The rupiah was first introduced in the country in 1945.

However, the modern version of the currency, the so-called new rupiah is being issued since the redenomination in 1965. The exchange was made at the rate of 1000 old rupees per new one. The rupiah formally is divided into 100 sens, but physically coins denominated less than 1 Rp are discontinued. The banknotes depict national heroes, politicians, monuments, sceneries of the country, local people.
