Famed as the Roof of the World, the Tibet Autonomous Region of China is bounded by the Kunlun mountains to the north and the Himalaya to the south. Tibet covers an area of 1.2 million sq km.

The currency is the Chinese Yuan (ISO code CNY), divided into 10 Jiao or 100 Fen. However, money within China is called RMB (Ren Min Bi, people's money).

Notes are available in denominations of 100, 50, 10, 5, 2 and 1 Yuan, 5, 2 and 1 Jiao, and 5, 2, and 1 fen. Coins are 1 yuan, 5, 2 and 1 jiao, and 5, 2 and 1 fen.

Note: As with most currencies, there are counterfeits. Banknotes printed from 1990 have a metal thread woven into their fabric.

The exchange rate is about USD 1 = 8 CNY
