Hello, the official monetary unit of Macao is the Macao pataca, also known as "Portuguese currency". There are six denominations of paper money: 10 yuan, 20 yuan, 50 yuan, 100 yuan, 500 yuan, 1000 yuan; There are six kinds of coins: 1 minute, 2 cents, 5 cents, 1 yuan, 2 yuan and 5 yuan. In May, I went to Hong Kong and Macao, and I didn't change Macao dollars, because Hong Kong dollars can be used directly there, and all major casinos or small shops can use Hong Kong dollars directly.

Of course, many shopping expenses can actually be directly swiped, and credit cards with UnionPay logo can be used. The bank automatically converts it into RMB according to the exchange rate of the day, without any handling fee, and the operation is simple and convenient.

MOP (MOP; Macao pataca; Currency code: MOP; ; Currency symbol: MOP) is the legal tender of People's Republic of China (PRC) (China) Special Administrative Region. Monetary policy in Macao is managed by the Macao Monetary Authority. 1 mop can be divided into 100 cents (Avos). The Portuguese name of Macau MOP "Pataca" comes from the silver circle "eight Mexican reais" (Portuguese: Pataca Mexicana) which was widely used in Asia at that time.
