[edit] 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...."

[edit] 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.
[edit] Redenomination plans
Anyone got any details on that? —Nightstallion (?) 20:31, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 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)
[edit] 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)
[edit] 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)
[edit] 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)
