Chinese Yuan Banknotes (CNY) – Powering the World’s Second-Largest Economy
The Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY) is the official currency of the People’s Republic of China, and a key player in global trade and finance. Issued by the People’s Bank of China, the currency is often referred to as Renminbi (RMB), meaning “People’s Currency.” With China’s expanding global influence, Yuan banknotes are now widely recognized and increasingly used in international transactions.
Banknotes come in denominations of ¥1, ¥5, ¥10, ¥20, ¥50, and ¥100, with each note featuring a portrait of Chairman Mao Zedong on the front. The reverse side highlights culturally significant landmarks such as the Great Hall of the People, the Potala Palace, and the West Lake.
The latest series of Chinese Yuan notes incorporate advanced security features to combat counterfeiting, including color-shifting ink, watermarks, security threads, microtext, and transparent windows (in newer issues). The notes are made from high-quality cotton paper, ensuring both durability and tactile recognition.
With China being a major global manufacturing and trading hub, the Yuan banknotes are vital for global commerce, tourism, and investment in Asia and beyond.
