About Chinese Renminbi
When founded in 1949, the Communist People’s Republic of China introduced ‘Renminbi’ or ‘the people’s currency’ as the official name of their money. ‘Yuan’ is the name of a unit of the renminbi currency. Something costs one yuan or 10 yuan, but you can’t say it cost 10 renminbi.
