The New Taiwan dollar (Template:Zh-tp) (currency code TWD and common abbreviation NT$), or simply Taiwan dollar, is the official currency of the Republic of China within the areas of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu since 1949. Originally issued by the Bank of Taiwan, it is now issued by the Central Bank of China since 2000.
Although the official English word for the currency is dollar, in Mandarin it is known as yuan (as with Chinese numerals, this character has two forms — an informal form 元 and a formal form 圓 used to prevent alterations and accounting mistakes). Colloquially, it is called a kuài (塊 lit. piece) in Mandarin or kho͘ (箍 lit. circle) in Taiwanese. Subdivisions of a yuan are rarely used, since practically all products on the consumer market are being sold at whole units of yuan.
History
编辑The New Taiwan dollar was first issued by the Bank of Taiwan in June 15, 1949 to replace the Old Taiwan dollar at a 40,000-to-1 ratio. The first goal of the New Taiwan dollar was to end the hyperinflation that had plagued Taiwan and Mainland China due to the civil war. A few months later, the ROC government under the Kuomintang was defeated by the Chinese communists and retreated to Taiwan.
Even though the Taiwan dollar was the de facto currency of Taiwan, for years the old Chinese Nationalist yuan was still the official national currency of the Republic of China. The Chinese Nationalist yuan was also known as the fiat currency (法幣) or the silver yuan (銀元), even though it was decoupled from the value of silver during World War II. Many older statutes in ROC law have fines and fees denominated in this currency.
According to the Regulation of exchange rate between New Taiwan Dollars and the fiat currency in the ROC laws (現行法規所定貨幣單位折算新臺幣條例), the exchange rate is fixed at 3 TWD per 1 silver yuan and has never been changed despite decades of inflation. Despite the silver yuan being the primary legal tender currency, it was impossible to buy, sell, or use it, so it effectively did not exist to the public.
In July 2000, the New Taiwan dollar became the official currency of the ROC and is no longer secondary to the silver yuan. At the same time, the Central Bank of China began issuing New Taiwan dollar banknotes directly and the old notes issued by the Bank of Taiwan were taken out of circulation.
In the history of the currency the exchange rate as compared to the United States dollar (USD) has varied from over 40 TWD per 1 USD in the 1960s to about 25 TWD per 1 USD around 1992. The exchange rate has been around 33 TWD per 1 USD in recent years.

Coins are minted by the Central Mint of China, while notes are printed by the China Engraving and Printing Works. Both are run by the Central Bank of China. $0.5 is rare because of its low value. $20 is rare because of the government's lack of willingness to promote it.
Remarks
编辑- "中華民國XX年" = "Republic Year XX". "中華民國" is also the state title "Republic of China".
- "莫那魯道" = "Mona Rudao", anti-Japanese leader at the Wushe Incident.
Banknotes
编辑It is noted that the $200 and $2000 banknote are not commonly used. The exact reason is yet unknown. One plausible explanation is that these 2 denominations are new and it takes time for the people to get used to. Another likely cause is the lack of promotion from the government. Is it relatively easy for the government to disseminate these denominations through various government bodies that do official business with the citizens, such as the post office, the tax authority, or state owned banks. There is also a conspiracy theory against the Democratic Progressive Party, the ruling party when the two denominations were issued. The conspiracy states that putting Chiang Kai-shek on a rarely used banknote would "practically" remove him from the currency, while "nominally" including him on the currency would not upset supporters on the other side of the political spectrum that much (the Pan-Blue Coalition).
