Various silver currencies remained the medium of trade in the city. In order to provide a steady supply of silver dollars in Hong Kong. Hercules Robinson, the then-Hong Kong Governor, decided to found the Hong Kong Mint in 1864. The mint opened on 7 May 1866 under the direction of the Master of the Mint, Thomas William Kinder but closed in 1868 during Richard MacDonnell's governorship. The reasons for this were the poor reception of the coins as well as continued debasement of the silver coins causing huge loss. The site was sold to Jardine Matheson in 1868 and the mint machinery sold to the newly established Japan Mint in Osaka.

Afin d'éviter d'approvisionner lourdement Hong Kong en dollars en argent, Hercules Robinson, plus tard gouverneur de la colonie, décide de fonder la monnaie de Hong Kong en 1864. L'institution ouvre le 7 mai 1866 sous la direction du maître de la Monnaie, Thomas William Kinder, père de Claude Kinder, mais ferme ses portes en 1868 durant le mandat du gouverneur (en). Les raisons de cette fermeture sont la faible réception des pièces de monnaie produites, ainsi que la dévalorisation continue de l'argent qui cause d'énormes pertes. Le site est revendu à la compagnie Jardine Matheson en 1868 et les machines de production sont vendues à la Monnaie du Japon d'Osaka, avec une perte de 300% de l'investissement initial.

La zecca di Hong Kong (in cinese: 香港造幣廠 Xiānggǎng zàobì chǎng, in inglese: Hong Kong Mint) è stata la zecca di Hong Kong dal 1866 al 1868. Era ubicata in Sugar Street. Sul pendio del Monte Butler (inglese: Mount Butler) fu costruita la "diga della zecca" (inglese: Mint Dam) per rifornire la zecca di acqua. Nei primi anni coloniali di Hong Kong, vennero usate insieme valute di vari tipi. Sebbene la sterlina britannica fosse la valuta ufficiale, non era ben accetta dai mercanti e dai residenti, particolarmente i cinesi, a Hong Kong. Diverse valute in argento continuarono ad essere utilizzate come mezzo di scambio nella città. Al fine di fornire una stabile offerta di dollari d'argento a Hong Kong, Hercules Robinson, l'allora Governatore di Hong Kong, decise di fondare la Zecca di Hong Kong nel 1864. La zecca aprì il 7 maggio 1866 sotto la direzione del Capo della Zecca (inglese: Master of the Mint), Thomas William Kinder ma chiuse ben presto, nel 1868, durante il governatorato di . Le ragioni che portarono alla chiusura erano la scarsa ricettività delle monete così come il continuo svilimento delle monete d'argento causando ampie perdite. I macchinari della zecca furono venduti alla zecca giapponese di Osaka.
