Great articles! One picky little point... I'm not sure if this is interference from Chinese or from Japanese, but in any case there is no "f" in any Korean romanization. In the Revised Romanization of Korean, which we follow in most cases at Wikipedia, 푼 is pun. -- Visviva 07:15, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
- The fault lies with Krause and Mischler's "Standard Catalog of World Coins".

- Yes, Krause makes mistakes from time to time, but this one may be an benign mistake. The English word engraved on the coins were actually "FUN". --Chochopk 08:03, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
- Hi, Visviva. I just realize that you changed the spelling. Normally I'd like to go with the spelling of what's on the physical form of the currencies. --Chochopk 08:08, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
- Aha! I hadn't realized that there was English writing on the currency... I guess fun is fine, then. Sorry! -- Visviva 08:21, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
- PS Any chance we could get a picture of those coins here? -- Visviva 08:21, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
- I could, but I have to take a picture of the printed catalog (black and white), and send that to you. I understand that there have been reforms of Romanization of Korean. Do you know when did it take place? And does the new Romanization "retro-apply" to terms before the new method? --Chochopk 10:14, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
