Investopedia explains 'MOP (Macanese Pataca)'
The Macanese pataca was first introduced in 1894 and was equivalent to the Mexican peso, Spanish dollar and the Hong Kong dollar - which were all equivalent at that time, replacing the Portuguese real at a rate of 450:1. The pataca was initially pegged to the Hong Kong dollar at par, but from 1935 until 1976, it was pegged to the Portuguese escudo. The peg returned to the Hong Kong dollar in 1977.
