Japan adopted the yen in 1871 under the Meiji government's New Currency Act, replacing the Edo era's tangle of clan-issued notes and shogunate coinage with one decimal currency. The word yen means round. The Bank of Japan, established in 1882, has issued the notes ever since.

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.
