Modern Chinese Yuan (CNY)

Current Series

The Chinese Yuan (Renminbi, CNY) is the official currency of the People’s Republic of China, issued by the People’s Bank of China.

The modern series features refined designs showcasing national landmarks, cultural heritage, and the country’s economic progress.

Current notes include enhanced security features, updated colour palettes, and durable printing standards that reflect China’s position as one of the world’s leading economies.

These notes form the primary legal tender across mainland China and remain widely recognised throughout Asia and global financial markets.

Outdated & Withdrawn Chinese Yuan Notes

Before the introduction of the latest enhanced‑security series, China issued several earlier generations of Renminbi banknotes.

These older notes often feature different portraits, traditional layouts, and earlier security elements that have since been replaced.

Although no longer used in everyday transactions, many withdrawn Yuan notes still retain redeemable value.

At Thecurrencycounter.co.uk, we accept a wide range of outdated and withdrawn Chinese Yuan notes, including early series, transitional designs, and denominations no longer seen in circulation.
