Description
The pataca is the official currency of the Macau Special Administrative Region of China. It is issued by the Monetary Authority of Macao and is subdivided into 100 avos. The currency is commonly denoted by the symbol MOP$ and its Chinese name is 澳門元.
Macau maintains a fixed exchange rate with the Hong Kong dollar, and both currencies are accepted interchangeably in most retail settings. Coins and banknotes feature local landmarks such as the Ruins of St. Paul’s and the Macau Tower, reflecting the region’s blend of Portuguese and Chinese heritage.
