Talk:Coins of the Hong Kong dollar

Images
I have images to stick in here for the coins. I'm looking at the legality of bank notes. Low-res versions should be ok, but I haven't tried to scan them. SchmuckyTheCat 04:07, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * So happy that one more friend would join in the major edit (so you know about HK issues, right? I would contact you next time id there's any HK-related edits that need help) :). Few days ago the HKD page was still a slum, you know. :-D . I'd like to refine the layout (ref.:USD), and add some information. Let's co-operate: you help with the photos, and I with the layout and information, OK? :) -- Jerry Crimson Mann 07:13, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd go to the Hong Kong Museum of History later, and grab some more useful information. Let's see! :D -- Jerry Crimson Mann 07:15, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

1992 or 1993?
Are first 2-dollar and 5-dollar coins issued in January 1993? They are marked 1992. &mdash; Instantnood 09:56, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)


 * I got the information from HKMA's website. -- Jerry Crimson Mann 10:07, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Perhaps the coins were minted in 1992, but were circulated starting from 1993. By the way, there's something interesting to mention with the 1-dollar coin. Those marked 1993 were entirely withdrawn from circulation because of some defect. :-) &mdash; Instantnood 10:25, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

Coins issued during the handover
Jerry I guess you must be watching this page. Do you remember some coins were issued for the handover, with special design on the observe side? &mdash; Instantnood 16:05, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Ah yes. Special designs, if my memory serves me, include Chinese knot, Chinese coins, 5 bats, blah, blah, blah...seemingly there're loads to write! :-D -- Jerry Crimson Mann 16:32, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * True. :-D How did you get the permission from HKMA by the way? &mdash; Instantnood 17:05, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

 * Guys, for coins - look at the link I used above. The World Coin Gallery gave permission to Wikipedia and he has great scans of HK coins, including those special issues!  The only trouble is copying them from that site.  I'll work on this with others. SchmuckyTheCat 03:35, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Wahoo! That's really super-duper! Good on you! -- Jerry Crimson Mann 04:37, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
