You have to wonder, they have a good economy, why do they like so many zeros on their money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 I'm not suprised at all. I mean afterall, you can just get rid of the zeros and still get by it. I guess it happened because of bad inflations. What a pity though... that the korean banknotes will change after 30 years in circulation. I guess the counterfeiters are starting to hit it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San_Miguel98 Posted June 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 heheh...i'm not sure if they're trying to get rid of their zeroes or not, but if they are, that whole imf money crisis thing must've set them back plenty. i'm pretty anxious to see the new notes. they've had their money the same colors since the 70's, (before my time- and i was "made in korea" ). blue, red, and green as the new currency colors is definitely more bold than the softer purple, orange, and green they're using now.
