Money comes in bills of 1,2 and 5 jiao (like the US 10 cent piece).

China's largest denomination, the 100 Yuan bill ($1 = 8Yuan).

The second largest bill in the PRC.

10 Yuan, on price tags instead of $ the Chinese use RMB. 

The smallest denomination in paper form in the PRC, 1 jiao. 

Let's see... 2 jiao is about... 12 US cents.
