I have an unnecessary number of small bills in my wallet at the moment because during several of my last cash transactions I haven't understood the cashier, so just handed over a hundred RMB note to be safe. They seem to like giving me my large amounts of change in 5RMB notes, too. I really need to learn the special word for 20 (used only when talking about money). It took me a long time to come to grips with it in Cantonese (and I've since forgotten what it is), and now I have to learn another one. Boo.
