- xingped 2mo agoYeah, you're right, you just literally never see any transaction using the 0.01 unit (fen) and only very rarely see any transaction use the 0.1 unit (jiao).
- thenthenthen 2mo agoIsnt 0.1 one mao?
- xingped 2mo agoThat's another name for it, yes. Similarly, yuan is sometimes colloquially called kuai. Sort of like dollars vs bucks.
- decimalenough 2mo agoJapan has sen (銭) as well, the coins were just inflated into oblivion years ago. Still used for eg stock prices though.
- mytailorisrich 2mo agoOh interesting. In China it is still used (you can still see prices with decimals beyond share prices and petrol stations) though on the way out.
