What is the point of the HK$500 note? It is rapidly becoming like the HK$1000, a pointless note that is not accepted in most transactions. It sits in your wallet, waiting for some opportunity to break it into the ubiquitous red $100 notes instead. And what's with an exchange rate of HK$7.8=US$1? I never did my 7.8 times tables at school, let alone my 5.7 times table to convert to Aussie dollars.
