💸👉Currency Fun Facts: South Korean Won 🇰🇷

The official currency of South Korea is the South Korean won. Following World War ll in 1945, Korea was divided into North and South regions. Each country has a different currency, both called the won, for the South (KRW) and the North (KPW). The Korean won replaced the Korean yen, which was issued from 1910 to 1945. In fact, the word “won” is derived from the Chinese yuan and the Japanese yen.

The South Korean Won has four different banknote denominations ₩1,000, ₩5,000, ₩10,0000, ₩50,000.

The one thousand, five thousand, and ten thousand won displays Korean Confucian scholars of the Joseon Dynasty. Whereas the fifty thousand won shows the first woman to appear on a South Korean banknote Shin Saimdang, a Korean artist, writer, calligraphist and poet.

4 reasons why cash is still king👑💸

👉 Security: Cash reduces the risk of falling victim to credit card fraud or encountering technical issues with card payments.
👉 Reliability: Cash is universally acceptable.
👉 Navigate Local Markets: Many street vendors and small businesses only accept cash.
👉 Bargaining Power: Cash allows you to haggle for a better price and avoid extra fees, which can save you a lot.

In many Asia-Pacific markets, such as Thailand, Japan, and Vietnam, more than half of the 2022 POS transaction value were cash. Japanese consumers maintain a strong attachment to the use of cash with cash accounting for 51% of 2022 POS transaction value.

In regions like Europe, Poland continues to have the highest rate of cash use, closely followed by Spain and Germany.

💱Currency Tip: Exchanging your cash beforehand ensures competitive rates and avoids unfavorable conversion fees associated with card transactions.
