Chinese Yuan or Renminbi (RMB) - which means 'money of the people'

That said, the Chinese have been a bit reticent about promoting their dosh as the next global reserve, yet it seems inevitable.

PS: Get used to the idea of a country called Zhong Guo (pronounced jong gwo) - it's what the Chinese call China!
