CNY=China Yuan

"CNY" may have many meanings. But the most well known meaning should be "Chinese Yuan", a term widely seen in the field of banking and currency.
As far as I know, it is a custom to use three letters to represent a kind of currency. For example, "USD" for US dollars, "GBP" for Great Britain Pound, "JPY" for Japanese Yen, etc.
The first two letters may refer to a particular country or area while the last letter is short for the denomination.

As I know, CNY is short form for "Chinese New Year".

I recognise it as Chinese New Year... though it is the abbreviation for the Yuan.
My Malaysian/Singapore friends use CNY freely, but my friends in western countries don't use (or recognise) it so much.
You could always do a search for acronyms to find more.
Here's a well-known dialogue which is going around the internet now:
A: What does IDK stand for?
B: I Don't Know.
A: Well, does anyone know?!
