Yuan (English pronounciation: YOO-en) (Traditional Chinese:元 or 圓; Simplified Chinese:元 Pinyin yuán WG yüan) is, in Chinese language, the base unit of a currency, for example, US dollar is ''Mei yuan'' (美元). However, in international context, they may refer to one of the four Chinese currencies: * Renminbi (RMB¥, CN$) * New Taiwan dollar * Hong Kong dollar * Pataca ==Other meanings== * Yuan Dynasty (元朝), also called the Mongol Dynasty, of China * Yuan (family name), one of several Chinese family names; 袁, 元, 苑, 原, 源, 爰 in Mandarin; 阮, 垣, 玄 in Cantonese. * Thai Yuan, a people of Northern Thailand * Yuàn (院), a branch of government stipulated by the Constitution of the Republic of China (now on Taiwan): * Yuan River (沅江 or 沅水), one of the four largest rivers in Hunan, a tributary of Yangtze River. * Northern Thai language, also known as Yuan.
The diaresis on the 'u' isn't needed following the 'y', only after 'l' or 'n'. == The Yuan == I'm not sure if this means anything whatsoever, but is there any correlation between the use of "yuan" to mean paper money now and the more widespread use and implementation of paper money during the Mongol's Yuan dynasty in China? - An interesting point. I never thought about that before. I'll try to find the anwser for you.

After taking a trip to Beijing and Shanghai Christmas on through New Year's Eve of 2000-01 I heard firsthand the word in use. It is pronounced YOO-en, NOT yoo-WAN, as most people assume based on the Americanized spelling. Another interesting thing: Christmas is a VERY popular holiday in China.
