About the two currencies

The Australian Dollar (AUD) is issued by the Reserve Bank of Australia and used in Australia, and also Kiribati, Nauru and Tuvalu. Australia introduced the world's first polymer banknote in 1988. Cash totals are rounded to the nearest 5 cents because 1- and 2-cent coins were withdrawn in 1992.

The Chinese Yuan (CNY) is issued by the People's Bank of China and used in mainland China (Hong Kong and Macau have their own currencies). Renminbi is the currency's name and yuan its unit. Onshore CNY may trade only within 2% of a daily central parity fixing; offshore yuan (CNH) trades freely in Hong Kong and can differ slightly. Alipay and WeChat Pay dominate daily spending.
