Currency is nothing but money, that is, a means of exchange used by all nations in various transactions between individuals or businesses. Today, there are a large number of national currencies in the world, but the degree of trust in them varies. Therefore, ratings of the most reliable and safe currencies are regularly compiled. Covid-19 pandemic briefly “turned off” the existing economic order, thus restarting some previously predictable processes. These include the currency market and the central role of the US dollar. Given the unprecedented suspension of globalization processes, the dollar is threatened with a real fall in 2020.

Gradually, the unified national unit of account gained more and more respect. Canada is now the world’s 11th largest economy.
Hong Kong dollar-HKD
This currency is in circulation in Hong Kong. It became the eighth most traded currency in 2014, and the same level can be assigned to it for reliability. The Hong Kong dollar, like all others, consists of 100 cents.
