The Chinese currency is called renminbi (
people's currency) and is often abbreviated to RMB. The Chinese
currency Renminbi, is issued by the state bank. The standard unit of the Renminbi is
yuan, with jiao and fen as the subsidiary units. Thus one yuan equals ten jiao and one jiao equals ten fen. Yuan, jiao and fen are issued both in bills of exchange and coins.
Renminbi features the following denominations: one, two, five, ten, fifty and a hundred
yuan; one, two, and five jiao; and one, two and five fen.
Hongkong's currency is the Hongkong dollar and Macau's is the
Pataca. Both currencies are worth 7% more than Renminbi.
RMB (Renminbi) is the only currency to be used in China.
Money exchanges by cash or traveler's cheques can be made at the
branches of Bank of China at Beijing International Airport,
hotels and tourist stores. Please remember to keep the currency
exchange receipt with you as it has to be shown to the bank
clerk if you are going to convert the remaining amount of RMB
back into foreign cash when leaving China.

You can change money in most hotels and banks, and the rate is the same everywhere. To
change RMB back into your home currency, you must retain the exchange slips that are given to you
at the bank or money exchange counter.
When you leave China, you can change the remaining
amount of Renminbi back into foreign cash and take out of China
within a grace period of six months prior to departure from
China, but in doing so they have to display foreign currency
conversion receipts.

But note that not all
these currencies are accepted at some small money exchange
outlets.
