Sterling is the oldest currency still in use, with a history stretching back over 1,200 years. The Bank of England, founded in 1694 and the issuer of its banknotes ever since, is the world's second oldest central bank. The name comes from a pound weight of silver.

China's renminbi, literally the people's currency, was first issued on 1 December 1948 by the newly founded People's Bank of China, about a year before the People's Republic itself was proclaimed. The yuan is its base unit, much the way the pound is sterling's.
