The official subdivisions of the yuan are the jiao (角), at 10 jiao to the yuan, and the fen (分) at 10 fen to the jiao. A coin worth ¥0.10 will thus say 壹角 ("1 jiao"), not "10 fen", on it.
Note also that most Chinese currency will be in the form of bills -- even small change. The smallest bills are one jiao, a tenth of a yuan.
