<human>:  When did the Currency reform in China happen?
<bot>: The Chinese currency reform was implemented in 1994. Before that, the Chinese currency was called the renminbi (人民币), which means people’s currency. The Chinese government wanted to change the name of the currency to the yuan (元) because the renminbi was seen as too similar to the word “people”. The currency reform was a part of China’s economic reforms in the 1990s.
