PS: thanks for contributing to my financial health! I notice the computer in the back ground has an Intel processor..... I am heavily invested in Intel Corp. (INTC) right now (along with my good friend Warren Buffett). So, again, I say,"Thanks." Congrats on your Yuan. With all of the gold they are gathering I am hoping soon their currency will be "as good as gold." WW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorkerBee Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Do "yuan" some corn with that corny line? Yuk, yuk, yuk.... Why yes sir, I do, it will compliment the crow I'm hoping to eat! Just curious, do you remember the spread the bank charged when you ordered? I ordered some last week for a client of mine, and if I remember correctly, XE was showing $100=630 yuan but we actually recieved approx $567 with the bank's spread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my last order XE was showing 10.01 Yuan to £1 ........... my bank gave me 9.24 Yuan for £1 (picture above is 6000Yuan) Probably no use to you as your not in the UK but there you go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not great at math especially not on a Saturday night, hopefully a math fairy will step in and give us an answer. If not I'll try to figure it out tomorrow.

Well, WB, I didn't order from a bank, I ordered from the same place I buy my IQD: Dinar Banker, or, Sterling Currency Group. https://www.sterlingcurrencygroup.com/buy-currencies.html They charge $218 per 1,000 RMB (Yuan) + $20 for shipping and handling. It looks like you are getting a better deal than I got at 1134 RMB per $200. Do you mind if I ask which bank you are using? WW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah It worked out £108($170) ... it was from my bank though so probably why I got such a good deal. you should look into it anyway, It all add's up especially for larger purchases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are probably all pretty close on pricing. Oh, and the currency arrived next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallyWeaver Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 It was one of the big four national banks. They are probably all pretty close on pricing. Oh, and the currency arrived next day. Interesting. And I'm assuming that you mean the RMB arrived at the bank and you went to pick it up the next day, is that correct? I think I also read, many months back, that someone was purchasing Vietnamese Dong at Wal Mart? At least I think I did... if that's true I wonder what they charge and do they sell RMB? I clearly have some homework to do. Thanks M. for the encouragement. Thanks WB for the info. WW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
