The yuan is the base unit of a number of modern Chinese currencies. The yuan is the primary unit of account of the Renminbi. A yuán (元) is also known colloquially as a kuài (块 "lump", originally of silver). One yuán is divided into 10 jiǎo (角) or colloquially máo (毛 "feather"). One jiǎo is divided into 10 fēn (分).
