The Hong Kong government issued a polymer HK$10 banknote in 2007; it is the only HK banknote issued by the government itself. With its distinctive purple color and smooth, high-quality feel, the $10 polymer is a feature of many Hong Kong banknote collections.
The 2007 polymer $10 banknote followed a 2002 issue, with a similar design and color scheme but made of regular paper instead of polymer. Ten dollars is the lowest-value banknote currently in use in Hong Kong; the higher denominations $20, $50, $100, $500 and $1000 are all issued by three different banks — the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC); Bank of China (BOC); and Standard Chartered Bank (SCB).
The Pick number of the 2002 paper $10 note is P-400, and the polymer $10 note Pick number is P-401. There are two varieties listed in the official catalog: P-401a and P-401b, which feature differing signatures but are otherwise identical. Collectors may search for both varieties to complete their collection.
