In the modern era, the yuan renminbi is the official currency, with banknotes featuring Mao Zedong on most denominations. The current banknotes belong to the fifth series, introduced in 1999, and feature iconic landmarks and diverse ethnicities on the reverse. An important milestone was the introduction of the 100-yuan bill with advanced security features in 2015.

Banknotes in the Soviet Union
