China - Yuan
The yuan (everyday use: 元; Traditional Chinese: 圓; Simplified Chinese: 圆; Hanyu Pinyin: yuán; Wade-Giles: yuen; literally "round") is, in the Chinese language, the base unit of a currency. For example, the US dollar is Meiyuan (美元). However, in an international context, yuan refers to the base unit of various Chinese currencies, including the renminbi (CNY) and the New Taiwan dollar (TWD).
One yuan is divided into 10 jiao (角) or colloquially mao (毛). One jiao is divided into 10 fen (分). In Cantonese, widely spoken in Hong Kong and Macau, jiao and fen are called ho (毫) and sin (仙). "Sin" is a word borrowed into Cantonese from the English "cent".
