we did that also Willy but we got like 5 rmb for a whole lot
of them so what i do know is i crush them and have 4 or 5 or 6
in a small plastic bag and i give them to the first poor person i see
collecting recycle stuff. it usually only involves a short walk on my
part before i give them to someone. the look of appreciation is worth
the time to find them as i just feel they need it more than me  and it
is my contribution to help people who are in need


You should see the look I get from her when I hand out the .1,.5 and 1 yuan notes.  I never ever spend them but just use them for giving out to those who do not even has the energy to go rummaging for the scrap.

For those of you who care, it's a 1.01 percent spread between the spot rate and actual bank rate for USD today. You get 675.82 to the USD. The spread is much worst for CAD at 3 percent. I am a Canadian but I always bring USD to exchange in China as it seems pegged to the USD.
