The Chinese word for cash, 现金 (xiànjīn), is composed of two characters: 现 (xiàn) and 金 (jīn). The character 现 means "present" or "now," while the character 金 means "metal" or "gold." Together, these two characters form the word 现金, which literally means "present money" or "current money." This term is used to refer to physical money, such as banknotes and coins, that are currently in circulation and can be used to make purchases.
