Chinese Yuan Renminbi to Indonesian Rupiah

The Chinese yuan (symbol  ¥, code: CNY, number 156) is the national currency of the People's Republic of China. One yuan is divided into 10 jiao, one jiao is subdivided into 10 fens. International sign is the same as that of the Japanese yen.

The exchange rate has been tightly pegged to the dollar since 2005. The currency belongs to the SDR basket. Although formally Hong Kong and Macau are Chinese territories, the yuan is not an official legal tender there. It is used for in- cash payments only in Mainland China, as well as for foreign exchange accountings.

The Indonesian Rupiah (symbol: Rp, code: IDR, number: 360) is the official currency of Indonesia. Informally Indonesians use the word "perak" ("silver" in Indonesian) in referring to rupiah. The rupiah was first introduced in the country in 1945.

However, the modern version of the currency, the so-called new rupiah is being issued since the redenomination in 1965. The exchange was made at the rate of 1000 old rupees per new one. The rupiah formally is divided into 100 sens, but physically coins denominated less than 1 Rp are discontinued. The banknotes depict national heroes, politicians, monuments, sceneries of the country, local people.
