But in Chinese, Yuan means a 'round object' or a 'round coins'. This is because in Qing dynasty the Yuan was a round silver coin.

Pronouncing Yuan

But how is Yuan pronounced? Yuan is often pronounced mistakenly as 'you-win' or you-wen. But the correct pronunciation is You-wuhn.
The difficulty of pronouncing Yuan is that 'a' in Chinese does not have a specific correspondent in English language, thus even the transcription of Yuan as You-wuhn is close but not perfect. This is because the 'a' in Yuan is pronounced with the sound that is midway between an /a/ and /e/ sounds which is closely approximated to a /uh/ sound.
