"Can you tell me where I can get Chinese currencymoney which is renminbi or rmb ?"

"You can use your Visa or Mastercard at most ATMs - cash machines - that way you don't have to lineupstand in line at a busy bank"

"Gosh, that's good news! Of course, I can use online bankingaccessing the account by Internet to follow my account balance on my home computer. What kind of money is used in China?"

"Usually, you get 100 rmb bills from the cash machine. Then when you use that bill you may get change in a 50 rmb bill, a 20, a 10, a 5 and even a 1 rmb bill. They may give some coins, as well. The largest coin is 1 rmb, then you could get a bronze 50 jiao coin or even a 10 jiao coin."

"Well, it sounds like Chinese currency, or rmb, work like US money! We can get $100 bill from a cash machine and then get change as a $50 dollar bill, then a $20, or a $10, $5 and $1 dollar bill. And the coins we use include 25 cents, then 10, 5 and one cent."

"Sounds like you've learned a practical lesson about money $$$ in China."
