Q: why in china there are 3 different types of currencies used?

Yes, I could google up the answer about this but I would rather hear from whomever on this site that lives in china as to why there are 3 types of currencies used in china? There are the rmb,kuai. and the yuan so what differences do these 3 currencies have from the other? Is it depending of where or what part of china one of these 3 are used?

and the most unusual of all !

 

Simoleons   or  Somoleons  

 

(not sure how to spell, because probably rarely ever spelled,, never a legitimized slang term)  

so, who the flip has ever heard that one? and who could give a sense of it's origin?

It cracks me up that a video game currency has become a commonly accepted slang term for US Currency, as well as the fact that an ACTUAL COUNTRY has adopted it as the official currency.

Bitcoin. That works here too. But you will need to bring a frequency convertor/transformer to plug your windows 95 desktop in. But that's no problem, plenty of space in your trailer to fit it in. Just be careful not to discard your used tissues on top of the transformer air vents. That could end in tears.

What ever you do... Don't bring Scottish Pounds. They only work in a few selected places worldwide. None of which are in China

You are mistaken. The three major currencies are:
Guanxi a.k.a. Get Out Of Chengguang Free Card
Beauty a.k.a. pussy potential
Yuan RMB a.k.a. "kuai"

Some people attempt to make their family ties into currency, but it always boils down to guanxi, pussy or yuan RMB.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
