    It's also the symbol for the Chinese currency. It works out to be $8.44 each before shipping according to Tao.

    ¥ 43.00 ( 约AUD 8.44?)

    Really, in news shows they either call it Uwan or RMB, which is already confusing enough having two names for a currency, but to use Yen's symbol is more confusing. China, pick one name and go with it!

    It is both - one is the currency name (like Aussie Dollar), while one is the primary or base unit of currency (like cents or dollars here).

    Renminbi is the name of the currency, translated as "the people's currency", while the Yuan is the unit for prices... but is used by most Westerners as the name of the currency, because it is easier (and more objective as it is less political).
    As such, both RMB (for Renminbi) and CNY (for Chinese Yuan) are used as the abbreviation of the currency (like AU$).

    Hey Griff, I just noticed we are up to 899 pages of this thread. Does this BBS software have a limit on the number of pages a thread can have?

    Not that I know of.

    There was some discussion a few years back about starting ongoing topics annually, but it didn't seem to be necessary or supported.
