Round Objects

some RMB, yesterday
I hadn't realised that the Chinese word for their currency, yuan, means round object (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renminbi). Those pictured here are clearly rectangular.

Which, of course, puts you in mind of the episode of Yes, Minister where Jim Hacker writes round objects on a document which he thinks is nonsense, only for Sir Humphrey to send it back asking who Round is and why he objects.

There are more round objects in today's news: news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4766897.stm
