The Chinese word 人民币 (rénmínbì) is the official currency of the People's Republic of China. It is also known as the yuan (元), which is the basic unit of the renminbi. The word 人民币 literally means "people's currency", reflecting the fact that it is the currency of the people of China. The character 人民 (rénmín) means "people", while the character 币 (bì) means "currency". The word 元 (yuán) is derived from the Chinese character 圓 (yuán), which means "round". This character was originally used to refer to coins, which were round in shape. Over time, the character 元 came to be used to refer to the basic unit of currency in China.
