[edit] Japanese printed notes

Bank of Korea's site[1] says that the 1950 issued notes were printed by: 일본내각인쇄국. It translates as:

일본 Japan
내각 cabinet / ministry [2]
인쇄 printing [3]
nation (suffix)

My best guess would be that it represent the japanese "National Printing Bureau", which as been responsible for printing banknotes, stamp, passport and gouvermental documents since it was founded by the Ministry of Finance in 1871. And according to [4] in 1950 it's english name was "Printing Agency". — Luccas 23:23, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
