The yuan
(Y) is China's monetary unit. The yuan is divided into 100 fen, and 10
fen constitute 1 jiao. The currency is known as renminbi (RMB), meaning
the people's currency. The inscription renminbi (or renminbiao) appears
on bank notes as well as yuan, and the terms renminbi and yuan are used
synonymously in quoting exchange rates. In transactions the terms
are universally replaced by the word kuai (piece). Beginning in the
early 1980s, the standard currency was paralleled by a special currency
called Foreign Exchange Certificates, which were issued in exchange for
"hard" foreign currencies.
