Hong Kong dollars and patacas: HKD 1 = MOP 1.03 at the official peg

The pataca is linked to the Hong Kong dollar under a currency board. Enter an amount to convert; the panel on the right shows how much extra you hand over when you pay a MOP price with the same number of HKD.

At the official peg

MOP 103.00

HKD 1 = MOP 1.03; MOP 1 = HKD 0.9709. Banks and money changers buy and sell a little either side of this.

Paying a MOP price with HKD one for one

If a shop takes HKD 100.00 for a MOP 100.00 price tag, the HKD you hand over is worth MOP 103.00 at the peg: MOP 3.00 more, about 3.0%.

That is not an official rate, just how a shop may choose to take HKD. Ask whether they take it one for one or at the rate, and which currency your change comes in.

How many patacas is HKD 1?

The pataca is pegged to the Hong Kong dollar. The Monetary Authority of Macao's fixed rate is HKD 1 to MOP 1.03, so HKD 100 is about MOP 103.

What currency are Macau prices in?

The Macao Government Tourism Office says all goods and services sold in Macau are priced in patacas (MOP).

Note: the Macao Government Tourism Office's English page quotes MOP103.20 = HKD100.00, slightly different from AMCM's 1.03. This tool uses AMCM's official fixed rate.
