China stands as the third-largest country in Asia and globally, holding a prominent position with a staggering population exceeding 1.4 billion people. Beijing, the capital city, not only serves as the political center but also stands as one of the country's major cultural hubs.
The official currency of China is the Renminbi (RMB), with the primary unit known as the Yuan (CNY). Yuan coins come in various denominations reflecting different values, including 1 Yuan (the primary unit), 5 Jiao (0.5 Yuan, often referred to as the half yuan), and 1 Jiao (0.1 Yuan, another subunit of the yuan).
The fen is a subunit of the yuan, but fen coins are not as commonly used in daily transactions. The fen is further divided into jiao, and coins like 1 Fen, 2 Fen, and 5 Fen represent values less than 1 yuan.
Yuan coins are typically made from a variety of metals, including copper, aluminum, and nickel. The composition varies depending on the denomination and the coin's design. Yuan coins vary in size and shape based on their denominations. Generally, the 1 yuan coin is larger compared to the jiao and fen coins, and all have a distinctive round shape.
In addition to standard circulation coins, China occasionally issues collectible and commemorative coins. These special coins may have unique designs, celebrate specific events, or honor historical figures. Collectors often value these coins for their artistic and historical significance.
