About Chinese Yuan (¥)

The Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY, ISO 4217 code 156, symbol ¥; also abbreviated RMB) is the official currency of the People's Republic of China, issued by the People's Bank of China (PBoC, est. 1948). 'Yuan' is the unit; 'Renminbi' is the currency's official name ('People's Currency'). Subdivided into 10 jiao or 100 fen. Banknotes: ¥1, ¥5, ¥10, ¥20, ¥50, ¥100 (Mao Zedong portrait on all denominations since 1999); coins: ¥0.10, ¥0.50, ¥1. Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan have separate currencies (HKD, MOP, TWD). CNY is a managed-float currency — PBoC sets a daily reference rate (the 'fix') against USD and allows ±2% intraday movement. CNY achieved Special Drawing Rights (SDR) inclusion October 2016 (10.92% weighting, replacing portions of EUR + GBP weight). CNY is the world's 5th-largest reserve currency (~2.4% of global FX reserves per IMF COFER 2024) but use is constrained by capital controls. PBoC's e-CNY (Digital Currency Electronic Payment, DC/EP) CBDC has the world's largest CBDC user base (~260M wallets).

About Moldovan Leu (L)

The Moldovan Leu (MDL, ISO 4217 code 498, symbol L; plural: lei) is the official currency of the Republic of Moldova, issued by the National Bank of Moldova (BNM, est. 1991). Subdivided into 100 bani. Banknotes: L1, L5, L10, L20, L50, L100, L200, L500, L1,000 (the highest denomination); the current series features the medieval Moldavian prince Stephen the Great (Ștefan cel Mare, r. 1457-1504) portrait on all denominations and Moldovan landmarks — the Soroca Fortress, the Stephen the Great Memorial in Chișinău, etc. Coins: 1 ban, 5 bani, 10 bani, 25 bani, 50 bani, L1, L2, L5, L10 (most coins are rarely circulated due to inflation). MDL replaced the Russian ruble in Moldova in late 1993. Moldova is one of Europe's poorest economies (~$16B GDP, ~2.5 million population) but applied for EU membership immediately following Russia's invasion of Ukraine (March 3, 2022) and was granted candidate status June 23, 2022. The Russian-occupied breakaway region of Transnistria uses its own unrecognized 'Transnistrian ruble' (PRB). BNM targets 5% CPI inflation ± 1.5 percentage points.
