See less為什麼近些年香港霓虹燈數量大幅減少
霓虹燈招牌是由99.5%氖氣及0.5%氬氣組成，手工製作，通常用於廣告或招牌等用途。 曾經香港的霓虹燈數量之多成為香港特色之一，有不少外國電影更因為這個原因而特意到港取景。 但近年來霓虹燈數量大幅減少，原來是與政府一個條例有關，因為霓虹燈大多伸出店面之外，年久失修會造成掉落傷害行人現象，而一些大型有名的霓虹燈招牌亦因此例難逃拆卸命運。 更因2000年左右LED燈出現而加速霓虹燈的消亡，LED燈價格也相比傳統霓虹燈價格極低，更因其危險性被房屋署強制拆除。

See less為什麼香港賣淫及嫖妓並不犯法
香港性交易是合法的，但組織及操縱性交易活動是非法的。 相關法制類似於英國，性工作者及接受性服務的個體都是合法的，操控性工作者則屬違法。 例如拉客、賣廣告、依靠妓女為生、2人同租一單位工作。所以「一樓一鳳」、做鳳姐本身是合法的。 根據《刑事罪行條例》第200章第139條〈經營賣淫場所〉，經營兩人以上，或者管理賣淫場所、為不道德目的或遊蕩而目的唆使他人則會觸犯法律，例如一樓多鳳，在香港是犯法。 香港召妓不犯法，即使当中牵涉金钱交易也没有问题。但嫖客主动问价或妓女主动报价即属违法。

馬會提供合法的博彩渠道，規定只准年滿十八歲的人士，才可參與博彩。 另一個合法公開聚賭的場所是麻雀館。 麻雀館需要領牌，但現時數量已經封頂，不會再發新牌。 在一些非指定場所玩麻雀屬違法。 在麻雀館的法定經營時間以外繼續打麻雀亦算作違法行為。

See less為什麼說10元鈔票本身才是香港法定貨幣
港幣的發行機構有兩類：政府和商業銀行。 10元紙幣及所有硬幣均由政府發行； 20元、50元、100元、500元、1,000元紙幣由匯豐銀行、渣打銀行、中國銀行發行。 不過，只有10元紙幣印有「香港法定貨幣」字樣，其他均為「即期兌付港幣xxx（紙幣面額）元」。 理論上，商業銀行發行的紙幣只是用來兌換港幣的票據，而10元紙幣和硬幣才是港幣。
