A jiao (/dʒaʊ/; Chinese: 角), or mao (Chinese: 毛) (Cantonese: hou [Chinese: 毫]), is a unit of currency used in Greater China, including the People's Republic of China (Mainland China), the Republic of China (Taiwan), Hong Kong and Macao. One jiao is equal to 1/10 of a yuan or 10 fēn (分).

• The Renminbi has coins of 1, 2 and 5 jiao.
• The New Taiwan dollar has coins of 5 jiao (rarely used).
• The Hong Kong dollar has coins of 1, 2 and 5 hou (known as 10, 20 and 50 cents).
• The Macanese pataca has coins of 1, 2 and 5 hou (known as 10, 20 and 50 avos).

The renminbi (abbreviation: RMB; Chinese: 人民币; pinyin: Rénmínbì; lit. 'People's Currency'; symbol: 元/圆/¥; code: CNY) is the official currency of the People's Republic of China and one of the world's reserve currencies, ranking as the eighth most traded currency in the world as of April 2019.

The yuan (Chinese: 元; pinyin: yuán or simplified Chinese: 圆; traditional Chinese: 圓; pinyin: yuán) is the basic unit of the renminbi, but the word is also used to refer to the Chinese currency generally, especially in international contexts. One yuan divides into 10 jiao (Chinese: 角; pinyin: jiǎo), and a jiao in turn divides into 10 fen (Chinese: 分; pinyin: fēn). The renminbi is issued by the People's Bank of China, the monetary authority of China.
