说起“人民币”,应该没有人会不喜欢吧,从“毛爷爷”“软妹币”这些昵称中,就能感受到我们对它深沉的爱~但“人民币”的缩写真是RMB吗?NO!NO!NO!
RMB是汉语拼音Ren Min Bi的首字母,但它正确的写法应该是RMB¥。国际上一般称人民币为Chinese Yuan,所以国际标准的人民币缩写是"CNY",并不是我们常说的RMB~比如,100元人民币=100 CNY=one hundred Chinese Yuan

一、Dollar=美元?
并不是这样的!Dollar是世界上不少国家和地区的货币单位,并不仅仅表示美元的意思。美元全称是United States Dollar,也可缩写为US Dollar或USD。
比如,港币是HongKong Dollar(HKD);澳元是Australian Dollar(AUD)。要是想表示具体哪个国家或地区的钱,前面要加上国家名称!
