Copy?

The entire paragraph was copied from Bank of Korea website:

"The Bank of Korea issued its first notes during the Korean War (1950 - 1953) to prevent the country being flooded by Bank of Chosŏn notes by North Korea. It also carried out currency reforms on three occasions during and after the Korean War...."

New and smaller Korean Banknotes!

You may refer to http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/200504/kt2005041817290710160.htm for the changes in both size and color of the new Korean Banknotes. Also, you may refer to http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/biz/200512/kt2005121317330611870.htm for the new 5000 won design.

Redenomination plans

Anyone got any details on that? —Nightstallion (?) 20:31, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Translation needed

Can someone help translating "발행발행" that I found on the BOK website? Using some simple online dictionary and some guessing from Chinese cognate, I would guess 발행 = issue and 발행 = discontinue. But I need someone who actually speak the Korean to verify that. Thanks. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 12:12, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Tentative answers supplied on Portal talk:Korea. Specific link would be helpful. -- Visviva 05:13, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Updated currency image

I've made a composite of the notes and coins that will be in circulation as of January 22, 2007 and uploaded it to the Commons at Image:Currency_South_Korea.jpg. Unlike the current image this one is to scale. It's just to make sure someone change the image in use after that date. — Luccas 22:25, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

That is so cool. Is the scale consistent across coins and banknotes too? One thing I noticed is that the resolution of ₩5000 isn't very good. Have you considered [1]? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 23:27, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

The scale I gave is consistent on everything. As for the ₩5000 I didn't have any good resolution picture but once I have something better ready I'll update it. — Luccas 00:29, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

50,000 and 100,000 won

50,000 and 100,000 Won Bills Issued in the First Half of 2009 --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 02:08, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

what's the problem of image of banknote?

if you see South Korean won#Current banknotes, image of banknote looks very big. Who can fix it?--Abigail alderate (talk) 09:49, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

For some reason Wikipedia is no longer supporting decimal in the px parameter, so all image containing a decimal in their dislay size value were suddently displayed in full size, as the px parameter was ignored. I fixed everything in the 3 South Korean currency articles. Thanks for bringing this up. — Luccas 02:56, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

pronunciation?

How is won prnounced? (Like it looks?) RJFJR (talk) 23:22, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

from what i know, it sounds like it in english, or sometimes it is also heard with strong accent as near "one" Rubycored (talk) 06:57, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

To me, the pronounciation is closest with the English pronounciation of the past form of "win". I'm not a native English speaker, though, so there might be a subtle difference I'm not picking up. Nevertheless, the Korean spelling for both "won" (i.e. currency and the past for of the English word "win") are the same in hangul. Baeksu (talk) 07:48, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

50,000 won released

Where is the picture?--Korsentry 05:31, 6 April 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by KoreanSentry (talk • contribs)

Editing needed

Hi, I just want to suggest that you say that the 1 and 5 won coins are not circulating. South Korea doesn't even use all the series I and II coins except the 10, 50, and 100 won coins! ----User:DaeHanMinGuk —Preceding unsigned comment added by DaeHanMinGuk (talk • contribs) 07:50, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
