C.R.E.A.M.! Get The Chinese Money, Yuan Yuan Bills Yall

So here's the new Chinese Yuan which features the Beijing Olympic logo as well as an image of the Chinese National Stadium which is better known as the "Bird's Nest." Can you picture a Lincoln with an image of the Vet on it? Or even, say, Wrigley Field?

One other interesting fact about the new Chinese banknote is that it is the first one lacking an image of Chairman Mao Zedong in a decade.

As you may or may not know, I'm heading to Beijing in less than a month so look for random Olympics related content here over the next two months. If gymnastics or pork dumplings are not your bag, please don't complain. Just don't read it.

Oh, and McDonald's is pulling for China to win.
