There are many situations where we need to exchange foreign currency into RMB. Below, I will introduce methods for converting foreign currencies using Google and Yahoo!. It's actually quite simple; you just need to input a few phrases into the search box. For example: "1 USD = ? RMB", "1 dollar in cny" (here CNY refers to the English code for RMB, which can also be written as RMB).

- **1 dollar in cny - Google Search**

_Timestamp: 1205203114578_

- **1 dollar in cny - Yahoo! Search Results**

_Timestamp: 1205203100296_

Sometimes the results from the two platforms may differ slightly, but not by much. You can also refer to the information provided on the Bank of China's website for more accurate exchange rates:
