Use our Chinese yuan buyback comparisons to find the best deal, then follow the link to the buyer's website to place your order online and lock-in your buyback rate. You'll need to decide whether to post your Chinese yuan to the buyer, or try searching for a store near you so you can exchange your Chinese yuan in person.

It can be difficult to exchange leftover Chinese yuan coins. Banks and foreign exchange companies don't generally accept coins because they're expensive to process and transport, so your options for exchanging any leftover shrapnel back into pounds can be limited:
Over the past 30 days, the Chinese yuan buyback rate has risen 0.31% from 9.476 on 25 Nov to 9.5054 today. This means Chinese yuan can be exchanged for more pounds today compared to a month ago. Right now, ¥1500 is worth approximately £157.81 which is £0.49 more than you'd have got on 25 Nov.
These are the average Chinese yuan buyback rates taken from our panel of UK travel money providers at the end of each day. You can explore this further on our Chinese yuan to British pound currency chart.
No, you'll get more for your Chinese yuan if you sell when the Chinese yuan buyback rate is low. This is due to a quirk of how British currency providers display their buyback exchange rates.
When you buy Chinese yuan, the exchange rate you get is the amount of Chinese yuan you'll receive for every pound that you spend, so for example a rate of 9.476 means you'd get ¥9.476 for each £1 that you spend. You can calculate the total amount of Chinese yuan you'd receive for a given amount of sterling by simply multiplying the sterling amount by the exchange rate.
When it comes to selling Chinese yuan, the buyback rate is expressed in terms of how many Chinese yuan you'd need to sell in order to get £1, so a buyback rate of 9.476 means you'd need to sell ¥9.476 to get £1. To calculate the sterling value of a given amount of Chinese yuan, you need to divide the Chinese yuan amount by the buyback rate. Since you're dividing by the buyback rate, a lower buyback rate means you'd get more sterling compared to a higher buyback rate.
One Chinese yuan (¥) can be subdivided into 10 jiǎo (meaning 'corner') and 100 fēn ('fraction'). There are six denominations of Chinese yuan banknotes in circulation: ¥1, ¥5, ¥10, ¥20, ¥50 and ¥100; and three coin denominations: ¥0.1, ¥0.5 and ¥1.
The current series of Chinese yuan banknotes in circulation is the 'Fifth Series' which was first introduced by the People's Bank of China in 1999. Each banknote in the series features distinct designs that showcase important landmarks, cultural elements, and historical figures of China. For instance, the ¥1 note displays the image of the Great Wall of China. The ¥5 note features an illustration of the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River. The ¥10 note depicts a portrait of Mao Zedong, the founding father of the People's Republic of China. The higher denominations - ¥20, ¥50, and ¥100 - feature images of iconic Chinese landscapes including the Guilin Mountains, the Potala Palace in Tibet, and the West Lake in Hangzhou.
