Yeah.
Yes thank you for the history lesson because I did not know that HK was handed over to China in 1997. I also did not know that HK is still an independent region (Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is what it's called, or HKSAR for short) that is not supposed to become a real part of China until 2046. Thanks for letting me know!
And didn't you just say that you've never heard of the yuan, yet now you're trying to tell me about it?
I had to refresh your minds an unecessary but essential way to annoy you.
I just did research, In regards to the name "Yuan: it comes from a ancient Mongolian dynasty founded by Kublai Khan, "Da Yuan" means great origin.
I guess thats why the commies called it Yuan to honnor their communist origins.
