When speaking in Mandarin, I believe that they would use 块/毛/分. However, when speaking in the local dialect/language (Cantonese) they would definitely not (they would instead use 蚊/毫/仙). But again, 块/毛/分 really shouldn't be restricted to any currency. Sinophones outside of China will use 块/毛/分 for the local currency.

agreed. other similar questions accept RMB, with no indication as to when yuan or rmb would be preferable.

I put "4 yuan 93 cents" and it told me I was wrong and that the answer was "4 yuan and 90 3 cents." - funny.

When I was a kid, we used to tease each other by mumbling things like "I'll give you five doll-hairs" (instead of dollars) if you do something. Clearly 毛 as hair should be an acceptable answer here.
