What is a yi yuan coin worth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As of 2013, One yi yuan would be worth 0.1397 cents in US dollars. You can see historical fluctuations and get today's exchange rate by doing a google search for: "yuan vs dollar".

The Yuan used to be pegged to the US Dollar. That means the graph of US dollar plotted against the Yuan would be a horizontal line. However in 2010 The yuan was un-pegged from the US dollar and allowed to float upon the people who can create yuan from thin air and spend it. In 2010 the yuan started appriciating quickly against the US dollar because the US federal reserve is diluting the currency in order to make minimum payments on their 1000 trillion dollars of debt.

Who is the inventor of hot wheels cars?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

they were made to go against matchbox in the market

Edited....

Hot Wheels cars were produced by Mattel because the owner at the time, Elliott Handler, saw his grandchildren playing with another toy company's toy car. He said, "Why aren't we making toy cars?" He had a meeting with his team and a little while later, Hot Wheels were born.... Handler wanted kids to have toy cars that looked just like the real cars that roamed the streets of Southern California. That's why the early packages said, "Hot Wheels, California Custom Miniatures."

It was a group effort. It was Handler's idea to make a "different" toy car and the R&D Team came up with the design of the mandolin wire axle and Delrin® bearing. Head Engineer Howard Newman took the idea and developed the axle into a torsion bar suspension like real cars and added the use of a very hard plastic material for the wheels called Delrin® in which he could make a low resistance bearing that would fit tightly into the back of the wheel.

Why isn' there a Hot Wheels Acceleracers Volume 5?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

i don't know, but there should be, i mean, verts dad is a silencer!

I remember reading somewhere that the acceleracers movies was actually supposed to kick start an actual tv series (not mini-series)and it somehow fell through

Although I have to say.... Hot Wheels could at least finish the dang thing with one more movie!

Although, There is one episode in battle force 5 where vert meets with his father in a powerplant. but it didn't really have any connections or similarities that would answer our many questions. his dad was wearing very futuristic clothing in the last movie, and was driving iridium but now hes wearing tattered clothing and is driving a beat up hot rod that Ive never scene him drive in and of the other movies, very big time gap. bottom line: hot wheels attempt to give the many fans closure for the epic 4 part season has failed in my opioion. it had no refernces to the movie at all. no explaination to what happened to the metal maniacs and Teku when they searched for vert. it wouldnt require that much work to finish it but why they didnt complete the series is beyond all of us.

What is the difference between something that is vintage and something that is antique?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The terms can be used for any toy no longer made. Neither are technical terms, so you can't find any agreement in how old a toy is before it becomes an antique. For general usage in the US, an antique usually refers to something old enough that it has a reliable, often historical value and has not been available for many years. Something vintage need not have a reliable value and generally refers to a usable, older item.

Some "Mod" style clothing from the 1960s is valuable and collectible. It's normally described as vintage clothing.

Flapper dresses from the 1920s are valuable, collectible and historically significant. They are normally referred to as antiques.
