A bit of history

It is believed that money appeared in China (coins from the VII century BC. Er, and banknotes - from the VIII century n. E., When in the celestial invented paper).

In the go were Chinese Liang and the money of other countries. Silver bars performed in the role of currency, whose weight was measured in Lyan. Liang to this day is used in China as a weight unit (50 grams).

Since 1935, Yuan and Lyana from silver were banned in China, the private property was canceled on this metal; Also stopped producing local currencies.

Began and had to introduce all new bills: 500 (1941), 1,000 and 2,000 (1942), 2,500 and 5,000 (1945) and even 10,000 yuan (1947).

The current history of the Chinese yuan started in 1948, when the People's Bank of China was founded as a result of a merger of 3 banks. It was he who found the exclusive right to produce yuan. 1 yuan was estimated at 0.22217 g of pure gold.

The first series of "people's money" (12 denominations) had 62 design. Old monetary signs needed to give 3,000,000 to get 1 yuan. New money issued unreasonably much - Hyperinflation happened.

Literally immediately happened, and to the outcome of 1948 1 cost 20 yuan (the course was 5 times).

The replacement of the money of the old sample ended only by 1952 (even later on Tibet - by 1959).

1955 was marked by a new reform: the old money was changed to new ones 10,000 K 1. The second series of money was released, which was seized from circulation until 2007.

In 1962, the third series of yuan appeared (it was in the course until 2000). From 1987 to 1997, the fourth series of bills were introduced. She is now in the go, although it is derived from the appeal.

The devaluation was marked in 1994, when the national currency weakened by a third.

The past year was marked by a denomination: On August 11, 2015, the reference rate of the Central Bank was reduced by 1.9%: to 6,2298 yuan for the US dollar from 6.1162.

Over the past 20 years, China managed to escape to the second place in the world (after the United States).

On November 30, 2015, it was decided from October 1, 2016 to make Yuan another reserve currency. So far, the US dollar is considered to be (now dominates; in 2014, 63.1% of foreign exchange reserves were kept), euro, pound sterling, Japanese yen, Swiss franc.

Course Yuan

Until 1974, there was a clear binding to the pound of sterling and the Hong Kong dollar (issued in Hong Kong, for 1 US dollar it is necessary to give 7.5-7.85 units of this currency). After - to the US dollar and the currency basket.

The dynamics of the yuan course to the US dollar for more than 10 years was unchanged: since 1994, the ratio of 8.28 K 1 was adhered.

CNY - the official currency of the People's Republic of China. It should be borne in mind that the word "yuan" (translated into Russian - "Circle" or "Round Coin") is used exclusively abroad. The internal name of the currency is Zhenminby or, as adopted in Latin writing, Renminbi, which is translated as "folk money." Bank code - CNY. 1 yuan is 10 Jiao or 100 Fanese. Ratings of banknotes: 100, 50, 20, 10, 5, 2 (rarely occur) and 1 yuan, as well as 5, 2 and 1 Jiao. Coins: 1 yuan, 5, 2 and 1 Jiao.

Traditionally on the front side of the banknote - a portrait of Mao Zedong and flowers. And a Japanese plum is added to the portrait of the leader to 100 yuan, on 50 - chrysanthemum, on 20 - lotus, 10 - Rose, 5 - Narcissus and 1 Yuan - Orchid. Landscapes of the PRC decorate the root side. The coins of the last series contain on the front side of the bank and the year of release, on a turnover of 1 yuan - the inscription RMB (three times; the coin is made of nickel coated with steel), on 5 Jiao - the image of the cane (made of copper coated with steel). Coin 1 Jiao is smooth, made of aluminum alloy. Other denominations from the end of the last century were not released.

Despite the fact that China is considered one of the first countries in the world using monetary signs (coins appeared in the VII century BC. E., Banknotes - in the VIII century, N. E., And the paper was invented there in the same time about 100 years. .), Money in modern form lead our story there only since 1948. It was then that the People's Bank of China was created, which received the exclusive right of emission. Before that, since 1835, Chinese Liang was produced, equal to 10 Mao and 100 fees. For large payments, small gold bars were used. In rural areas there were walking smaller coins: Qiani and cache. In addition, throughout China, there was a huge amount of money from foreign states.

The first attempt to unify the monetary system was undertaken in 1933, but it was not crowned with success: still every province issued its own coins and banknotes. In addition, part of the territory turned out to be occupied, and from 1938 to 1943, Japanese military yen were in circulation.

Until 1935, the yuan was tied to a silver standard, and after - to the gold. At the same time, as a result of the monetary reform, the money issued earlier was replaced by banknotes. Their excessive emission led to hyperinflation: in 1936, $ 1 corresponded to 3.36 yuan, and in 1946 - 3,350. The beginning of the revolution has taken away the national currency at all.

On January 1, 1948, China's People's Bank released the first "folk money", determining the gold content of the yuan in 0.22217 g of pure gold. The exchange rate of old banknotes amounted to 3 million per 1 yuan. Moreover, the reform was carried out not at the same time, but as the provinces were united by the Communists. Finally, local dennaunations were replaced by a single currency only by 1952, and in Tibeta - by 1959.

On the very first year, the authorities had to devalue the Natsawlutu several times: initially 1 US dollar cost 4 yuan, by the end of 1948 - already 20. In 1955, the People's Bank of China held a monetary reform: From March 1 to April 30, the old money was exchanged for New at the rate of 10,000: 1.

At the same time, it is assumed that sooner or later the Chinese leadership will go to the liberalization of the economy and exchange rates. And then the prospect for profit can be opened due to the growth of the currency value.

As for the exchange of cash currency in the PRC, foreign citizens can change it to Yuan freely in banks and specialized exchange offices. Moreover, if you need to make a return exchange - to change the remaining yuan on the other currency when departure, it is necessary to maintain the exchange certificate.

Many people who come to China cannot figure out the Chinese monetary system. They complain that it is complex and confusing. Indeed, except yuan (analogue of rubles) and fanny ("Kopecks") jiao . Chinese money is called 人民币 guenminby. Let's try to decompose everything in order and tell about how not to be with a full wallet of heavy little things and where to go accumulated paper Jiao.

Interesting Chinese money and numismators. In the appeal so far there are old coins from a very light alloy (possibly aluminum). They differ from modern coins pattern, shape, weighing and color of metal. Every year such coins come across less often. Recently, they are almost disappeared.

Yuan 元, 圆.In colloquial speech is also often called quay 块 ("a piece"). This is an analogue of our ruble. Yuan is the most common money in China. Yuan are paper (5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 yuan) and metal (1 yuan). The largest bill is 100 yuan, the smallest is 1 yuan.

Covers with dignity of 100 yuan

Yuan Course to Rule and Dollar It is constantly changing, so before the trip it is worth clarifying it. Currently he fluctuates about 10 rubles for 1 yuan, 1 dollar is about 6.65 yuan. It is also useful in order to imagine the cost of purchased in China things in terms of rubles. After such a comparison, many Chinese goods will not seem so cheap.

Along the way, I want to remind you that the cost of 500 grams is indicated in Chinese price tags, and not for a kilogram, as we have. This is a special weight category called jin. 斤 When buying any food (even tea), do not forget to multiply the cost twice. Perhaps it is because of such a weight unit, many Chinese products put on the counter first seem very cheap.

My advice. There is one win-win version that allows you to significantly reduce the price in the trade process with the Chinese seller. Of course, only when he at least a little knows Russian or English (if you do not speak Chinese). To convince the merchant that he will greatly overstate the price, will help him with the cost of the cost (even if even highly understated) for this product in Russia. This argument will give and you confidence that the thing should cost less. More detailed description of the ways to reduce the price when buying goods in China, you can read in our article

Fen. 分 *. The Chinese pronounce its name as "Feng". These coins can be compared with our penny. In everyday life there is a "penaltile" with a par value of 1, 2 and 5 Fanya.

* Fan 分 is a very multivalued word. The main translations - "divide", "rub", "separate", "distinguish". Hence the value of something very small, fractional. Fen also means "minute", "score", 1/10 or 1/100 part.

Coins dignity 5 Fanya

My advice. Choose such a wallet in which there is a closed compartment for trivia. From the first day of stay in China, you will notice how hard it became a wallet. Sellers willingly discount the metal trifle, giving delivery.

Jiao 角,or, in the surprise, Mao 毛. This is 0.1 yuan. In one Jiao 10 Fanya. Jiao are paper and metal. The size of paper and metal Jiao is less than yuan. At first, foreigners are confused with this monetary unit, surprised how quickly their wallet is replenished with pieces and coins with a par value of 1 or 5 Jiao.

My advice. Do not accumulate too much Jiao. Give them as accumulation. Leave part of paper Jiao for donations. Please note that much of such money lies in transparent donation boxes that are available in most temples. Yuan there is much less. Metal coins of Jiao throw in the pond or fountain (for happiness to return) in those places where it is accepted. However, paper money is often thrown there.

Does the Chinese like metal coins?

The Chinese belong to metal money calmly. More than them take southerners. So, the machine gun on one of the stations Subway (Metro) in Shanghai did not want to take paper money. I had to swap them. Northerners give preference to paper money. There are fewer problems. The machines here are usually omnivorous.

My advice. Feel free to safely offer a complete handful of coins in the store. The seller (or cashier) and the queue (if there is) will treat it with understanding. Money has money. If you are not a numismat, then do not carry a heavy package of unused little things to your homeland. It is better to acquire something useful on it. The main thing is that the money is enough
