Playboy After Dark
Posted by Colin
One of the most unusual pieces of privately issued scrip I received many years ago was from my good friend but now deceased Mr. A. Wang of Kowloon. This is a HK$10 note issued in 1972 by the Playboy Nightclub in Kowloon, Hong Kong and was only good for drinks in this Hong Kong facility and not exchangeable for any real currency. It measures 152 x 91 mm and was sanctioned by "Order of the Board of Directors". The address on this item is 69, Peking Road, Kowloon. No printer's imprint is on this piece but notice it is primarily in English. In checking with Ma Tak Wo in Kowloon, he stated that only the HK$10 denomination is known and sells for about USA$15 there.
