@gollum,
I copied your question into the Google search bar and got quite a few answers to it.
Have you already looked at some of those?
Here are a couple good ones:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renminbi
From the NPR link:

Here's the long answer, plus a bonus audio clip to teach you how to say "yuan" and "renminbi" in Mandarin:
@Butrflynet,

For United States money, what are the analogous terms?
@gollum,
Dollar and US Dollar.
An easier example is Pound vs. Pound Sterling in the UK.
