The pataca is pegged to the Hong Kong dollar (HKD) at MOP$1.03 = HK$1. In practice, a large percentage of cash transactions in Macau are made in Hong Kong dollars, which are accepted on an equal 1:1 basis by almost all businesses. If you pay using Hong Kong dollars, you may receive patacas as change, or a mixture of patacas and Hong Kong dollars. Recently, RMB has been widely accepted as well (often also on a 1:1 ratio). However, please note that patacas are not accepted outside of Macau – including in Hong Kong – so make sure you convert your currency before you leave Macau. Most credit cards are accepted in Macau.
