Chinese Yuan (CNY / RMB) FAQs

Curious about China’s currency? Here’s everything you need to know about the Renminbi (RMB) and Yuan (CNY) — from denominations to travel rules. For any additional questions, feel free to contact us anytime.

What is the difference between Renminbi (RMB) and Yuan (CNY)?
Renminbi (RMB)” is the official name of China’s currency, while “Yuan (CNY)” is its main unit — just like “Pound Sterling” and “Pound” in the UK.

In short, Renminbi refers to the entire monetary system, while Yuan refers to specific amounts of that currency.
Which denominations of Yuan are currently in circulation?
The most common banknotes in use are ¥1, ¥5, ¥10, ¥20, ¥50, and ¥100.

The ¥2 note is still legal tender but rarely seen in daily life. Coins of 1, 2, and 5 jiao also exist, though they are not commonly used for regular transactions.
Does China have polymer or commemorative Yuan notes?
Yes. China has released several commemorative and polymer Yuan notes, including the vertical 20 Yuan edition. These notes are legal tender as long as they are genuine, and they are often issued to celebrate national events or anniversaries.
Are there any restrictions on carrying Chinese Yuan when traveling?
Yes — travelers entering or leaving China must declare any amount exceeding ¥20,000 RMB (or the equivalent in foreign currency).

Staying within this limit ensures compliance with China’s customs and anti-money-laundering regulations.
