1cny is equal to 1 yuan, which is also the smallest integer unit of RMB. At present, CNY is uniformly used for foreign exchange settlement and domestic settlement in international trade. Domestic banking institutions usually use CNY as the symbol of RMB. However, many people are still used to using RMB in people's daily life and internal accounting of enterprises.

Therefore, replacing "RMB" with "Chinese yuan" can be in line with the abbreviation logo of international currency.
