Also, the Chinese currency is "yuan", not "juan".  However, "juans" or 
"yuans", it just sounds awfully awkward to me.  For one thing, there is no 
special plural form in Chinese, so "yuans" just sounds wrong.  OK, so I am 
biased.  But gold has been used for thousands of years, long before mordern 
currencies appeared.  What's wrong with gold?

Now it's getting even more complicated.  But as long as I can turn it off 
(please?), I really should not complain.
