The [[Yuan (currency)|yuan]] ({{zh|s=元}} or {{zh|s=圆|t=圓|plabels=yuánno}}) is the basic unit of the renminbi, but the word is also used to refer to the Chinese currency generally, especially in international contexts. One yuan is divided into 10 [[Jiao (currency)|jiao]] ({{zh|s=角|plabels=jiǎono}}), and the jiao is further subdivided into 10 [[Fen (currency)|fen]] ({{zh|s=分|plabels=fēnno}}).
