Thanks for the clarification, ZhangCheng. Yes, I was a little confused by your notation on simplified/traditional at first, but didn't want to make a big deal about it.

For the record, in the Chinese Monetary Unit pic, the 2nd character for dollar you show IS in simplified script. The traditional script character is slightly different inside the big box of that character; but I don't think that will cause any problems, even for those who cannot read the Chinese characters.

Also, there are other Chinese numerals. There is a set that is used in on signs in the open market in some parts of China. These are usually large hand-made advertising signs hilighting pricing of some items they sell. However, this numeral set is not used on stamps nor in formal accounting (as far as I know).

Thanks Kim for your comfort to me.

And I am sure you will comfort me again soon, as you remind me, the traditional script character "ˆA" is used frequently on China early stamps, but I once again leave out it on my chart, I am going crazy for my negligence. But I still will update it again.

Yes, my compatriot from HongKong mentioned that there are other Chinese numerals were applied to the real life for marking a price where have Chinese culture, and as you said, these numeral sets are not used on stamps nor in formal accounting.
