As the calendar swings around to August comes the news that this month shall see the issuance of China’s latest bank notes and coins. Three new coins and four notes will be released to the nation on 30 August, 2019.
随着日历转入8月，本月将发行中国最新的钞票和硬币。 三枚新硬币和四张纸币将于2019年8月30日向全国发行。
Promotional videos for the fifth new version of the “renminbi”, including 1 jiao, 5 jiao, ¥1 coins, and ¥1, ¥10, ¥20 and ¥50 notes are already circulating the Chinese internet. Therein can be seen that the new cash retains its original elements, while giving them all an additional ,more 21st century feel.
“人民币”第五个新版本的宣传视频，包括1焦、5焦、1元硬币、¥1、¥10、¥20和¥50钞票已经在中国互联网上流传。 从中可以看出，新的现金保留了其原始元素，同时赋予了它们更多的21世纪的感觉。
The fifth, and 2019, editions of the ¥1 coins and 1 jiao coins maintain the elements of the 1999 edition, while adjusting the shape of the number 1 on the front side and contracting the flower pattern on the back. The diameter of the ¥1 yuan coin is also reduced from 25mm to 22.25mm.
第五版和2019年版的1元硬币和1角硬币保留了1999年版的元素，同时调整了正面数字1的形状，并收缩了背面的花纹。 1元硬币的直径也从25毫米减少到22.25毫米。
As would be expected, the new currency employs advanced anti-counterfeiting measures. Tilt the coin at a certain angle, two patterns will become visible.
不出所料，新货币采用了先进的防伪措施。 将硬币倾斜到一定角度，就会看到两个图案。
Looking at the notes, a dynamic hollow-out window, security line and vertical number have been added. The colour of the security line varies from violet to yellow depending on the angle from which it is viewed.
看着笔记，增加了一个动态的镂空窗口、安全线和垂直号码。 安全线的颜色从紫色到黄色不等，取决于从观看的角度。
The biggest change, however, perhaps oddly, is with the 2019 edition of 5 jiao coin. Its material has been changed from an all copper-plated alloy to a nickel-plated steel core, meaning that its colour is now a nickel white. The inner circumference of the coin is adjusted from the previous circle to now be a polygon. The 5 jiao coin’s diameter remains unchanged.
然而，也许奇怪的是，最大的变化是2019年版的5角硬币。 它的材料已经从全镀铜合金改为镀镍钢芯，这意味着它的颜色现在是镍白。 硬币的内周长从上一个圆调整为现在的多边形。 5角硬币的直径保持不变。
The four new notes and three new coins together complete the modern family of China’s physical cash that began with the latest incarnation of the ¥100 note which appeared in 2015.
四张新纸币和三枚新硬币共同完成了中国实物现金的现代大家庭，从2015年出现的100元纸币的最新化身开始。
