Going Shopping in China

The number system/money system is very different in China than it is in the United States. It is also much more difficult. Their standard money is the Mexican silver dollar. There it is referred to as Mex, in America it is referred to as gold. $2.20 in Mex is equivalent to $1.00 in gold. On pages eight and nine, it explains the currency in China. [4]
