    HKD 150 Note is the new iPhone 6?

    From the SCMP....

    Special HK$150 banknotes produced by HSBC to celebrate the bank's 150th anniversary are available for order from today - with a starting price of more than double the face value: at HK$380 for a single note.
    One expert expects the price to more than double once the notes start changing hands, courtesy of mainland speculators.
    Will we see mainland touts lining up outside main HSBC branches?

    Two million notes. Get in early on the resale, or don't bother. We've seen this before.

    I wish they would issue a regular $200 or $250 note. Would be easier to carry than 500s that many cabbies can't break or a $1000 that no one accepts.
