Hong Kong government formally launched 50 million Hong Kong ten dollar polymer notes on Monday, July 9, 2007. It is reported the new note is cleaner, more durable, more secure and environmentally-friendly than the existing legal tender notes.
The first ever polymer bill in Hong Kong is supposed to be cleaner than paper bill, since the polymer substrate is much less porous than paper. Also, the polymer can be recycled after use.
While retaining some of the security features of the existing purple $10 paper note, the new note incorporates four newly visible security features specific to polymer notes:
It is Hong Kong's Monetary Authority who have printed the new 10-Hong Kong-dollar bill while HSBC Hong Kong is in charge of distributing them to other banks throughout the city.
The new bill will circulate alongside the existing paper notes and coins, both of which will remain legal tender.
Financial Secretary Henry Tang said that the issue of polymer notes with different values will be considered if the new bill is accepted by the public. Source: CRI
