To the East of the Chinese coast (a hundred kilometers) in the waters of the Pacific ocean lies a vast island of Taiwan. The main island and the smaller Islands in the area belong to the country a very unique status: partially recognized state, the Republic of China. Autonomous island Republic exists since 1949. The area of holdings belonging to Taiwan a little over 36 thousand square kilometers. Taipei city – administrative center of the state.
Since 1949 Taiwan has the circulation of the new Taiwan dollar. He replaced Taiwan dollar depreciated previously used. Formally, the new Taiwan dollar is divided into hundred cents (fen). But cents in coin catalog of Taiwan does not exist. Coin a number of countries represent only dollars: ½, 1, 5, 10, 20 and 50.
It is also curious that, though officially the currency is called the dollar, but it is calculated in RMB, and the value of coins is also indicated in RMB.
Too low value of the coins of Taiwan denominations of ½ of the dollar (the yuan) has led to their "extinction": the markets of the country almost none of them to meet.
In 2012, the Republic of China produced a set of coins with denominations of 20, 50 and 100 dollars, referred to as the "year of the Dragon". Buy coins of Taiwan from this series are difficult: the circulation was limited. Otherwise, the price of coins Taiwan is quite reasonable.
