Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 08/17/2019 12:33 pm We have a pile of Hong Kong coins from the 1970s and 1980s. Are these still being used today? I notice the $5 has a different shape now. We'll be transiting there soon and want to use them up. Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 08/17/2019 12:58 pm I guess that means it's still widely accepted in circulation. Got around $100 worth of coins, a good amount. Thank you, I will. Hopefully nothing eventful will go down while I'm there. Report this Post to the Staff
X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 08/17/2019 1:36 pm To my understanding, only coins with up-to-date sizes are in circulation. This would really only disqualify the old, large 10c and 10-sided $5 coins. Older designs but with sizes and shapes like current coins, such as those with QEII on them, can still be used but are actively pulled. I think Numista lists the wrongly shaped coins as demonetised.
