Needing review of source

Since my korean knowledge is not good enough to fully understand a korean encyclopedic article I hope someone fluent or native could review this article ont the Naver Encyclopedia 백과사전: 냥. It's titled the yang but it covers the use of currency during the Goryeo and Joseon period. I'm particularly interested in the mentions of the use of the fun, the gwan, and the yang along side with the mun in the 17th century, and the won, then hwan, and the jeon in the 19th century. I just think the content of this article could be updated, if not corrected, based on this source. — Luccas 02:39, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In the past

100 Fun = 1 Yang
100 Chon = 1 Won Böri (talk) 13:28, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

100 Mon = 1 Tempo
5 Poon = 1 Cheun
1000 Re = 100 Cheun
100 Weun = 1 Hwan
also 100 Sen = 1 Yen (under Japanese occupation!) Böri (talk) 10:09, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and rename

This article, History of the Korean currencies, and Etymology of the Korean currencies should be merged. The etymology article contains only two sentences that are actually about etymology; the rest of the material is more useful at the history article.

Support. —

At a minimum, the article titles should be changed to native English forms. Idiomatic English does not use the definite article (the) in such titles.

Nah. It's a bit unusual but not wrong in any sense. —

Ideally, a merged article should be located at the more succinct name of "Korean currency" (cf. Chinese currency and Japanese currency which are also primarily about the history of those currencies). — AjaxSmack 04:28, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yup. Done, though the merge needs to happen. —

Great source to reference.

I found this REALLY COOL website to reference from, but my English isn't that good to reword and add most of the text in, anyhow I'll add several of the information here (while looking for more references) into the Korean mun article, if anyone would also use this reference for this article it could greatly improve it, especially since this article needs more sources. 42.112.157.9 (talk) 13:44, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
