The total number of Korean coins is 1 won, 5 won, 10 won, 50 won, 100 won, 500 won and 6 currencies. Currency type

There are two kinds of Korean currency: paper money and coins. There are four kinds of paper money: 1000 won, 5000 won, 10000 won and 50000 won, which can be easily distinguished according to the historical figures and colors printed on the paper money.

The total number of Korean coins is 1 won, 5 won, 10 won, 50 won, 100 won, 500 won and 6 currencies. There are four kinds of coins in circulation: 10 won, 50 won, 100 won and 500 won (10 won is the smallest unit). Because the exchange rate of won is high and worthless, 1 yuan and 5-yuan coins stopped circulating in February 2006. On June 23, 2009, the Bank of Korea, the Central Bank of Korea, issued a banknote with a face value of 50,000 won (about US$ 40), which is the largest banknote issued by the country so far. Common pronunciations "Win" and "Huan": It is the pronunciation usage of ancient Korean currency.

Gold content of currency

When Korea was founded, its currency was issued with reference to the Japanese yen. From 1 yuan-1 ,000 yuan denomination. Later, after nearly 60 years of South Korea's economic take-off, South Korea's economic prosperity made the value of today's won too high, but it did not have much impact on the circulation of money. In 2009, 50,000 won was issued according to market demand. The saying that "worthless" is unscientific, and it can only be said that the currency is overvalued.

Money is generally equivalent, and there is a certain proportional relationship between the total money supply and the actual purchasing power. For example, a country has goods worth 654.38+0 billion, and this country has printed 654.38+0 billion currency. Then a dollar thing sells for a dollar. However, if the country printed 654.38+000 billion yuan in currency and the total value of goods was still 654.38+000 billion yuan, then the things that originally sold for 1 yuan would sell for 654.38+00 yuan. However, the number of coins printed in South Korea is relatively large, and things sold in China for 1 yuan will be sold there for more than 100. So the face value is large.

1, the formation of monetary value has historical factors and the process is complicated.

2, the currency is low, and it cannot be said that it is worthless. This should be considered comprehensively.

There is another special situation in Japan and South Korea, that is, the smallest unit of their currency is "yuan", "yen" or "won". Their currency does not have our decimal places, such as cents. So their 100 yuan is equivalent to our one yuan. So the value of money is not very low. Japan's 100 yen, equivalent to about RMB 1 USD; The won is 65,438+000 yuan, which used to be almost the same as 0 yuan's RMB 65,438+,but now it has depreciated, which is about 50 cents. convert

In the past, the only way to change won was to change dollars first, and then go to South Korea with dollars to change won. The exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar is relatively stable, because the People's Bank of China linked the RMB to the US dollar, and the exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar remained basically unchanged when the exchange rates of other currencies fluctuated greatly. After the exchange rate reform, the People's Bank of China announced that the RMB was linked to a basket of currencies such as the US dollar and the euro, but other currencies accounted for a small proportion. Therefore, in South Korea, if RMB is converted into won, in fact, the bank's operation is to convert RMB into US dollars and then into won. Consumers have to pay the difference twice and get relatively little won.

At present, domestic banks have officially started the two-way cash exchange business of Korean won (KRW), and the Korean won has officially joined the foreign currency column of RMB foreign exchange quotation. China Bank is the first bank in China to be allowed to offer two-way cash exchange of won. 1000 won can be converted into RMB 5.8 yuan. After the opening of the two-way cash exchange service for won, Bank of China will provide services for residents and non-resident individuals to exchange won cash for RMB cash. You need to provide your valid identity certificate when you exchange. However, only non-resident individuals are provided with the service of converting RMB cash into Korean won cash. Moreover, domestic banks are temporarily unable to provide foreign exchange purchase business in won. Individuals who go to Korea for business, business or tourism can first buy US dollars in RMB and then convert them into Korean won. Ticket sample

Guli Li Er (1536- 1584)

Korean sincere philosophy (no. Gu Li) belongs to the philosophy of human nature. On the whole, his philosophical thought does not go beyond the framework of Confucian classics, but contains rich practical thoughts: (1) opposing the separation of secular literature and Taoist thought; Oppose the "empty talk without truth" of false Confucianism and emphasize the practicality and practicality of seeking truth from facts; (2) People-oriented democratic thought; (3) emphasizing the spirit of national independence; (4) The idea of social reform runs through it; (5) Philosophical monism of Qi. Therefore, Gu Li is considered as the founder of the practical learning theory in North Korea. The thought of practical learning is followed by Li Shuguang's "practical learning, practical politics, practical work" and "people governing the sky"; Liu Xinyuan's Law Harms for a Long Time; Hong's Sincere Heart; Ding Ruoyong's thought of "grazing for the people" has had a certain influence.

King Sejong (1397- 1450)

Sejong, whose full name is "King Wu Ruiren St. Xiao Ming of England", surnamed Li Mingjiao, has a positive personality. Before he ascended the throne, he was named Grand King of Zhongning, the fourth king of Li and Han (year number: 14 18-1450). Because of his great contribution to the country, later historians usually call him King Sejong. During his reign, Zheng Linzhi, Cheng Sanwen, Shen, Pu Pengnian, Cui Heng, Lao, and other famous scholars were convened. And founded Korean originally written in Chinese in North Korea. In A.D. 1446, The Correct Voice of Trainees was promulgated and popularized throughout the country.

1000 yuan:

Front pattern: Li's head is a Confucian Li Jue.

1983 The newly issued coin (15 1mm*76mm) has the front pattern representing Mr. Kun Li, a North Korean scholar, and the back pattern is Taoshan Academy founded by Mr. Kun Li, a North Korean scholar, to improve students' performance.

Neo-Confucianism in the Li Dynasty of Korea, the main representative of Korean studies. The first name is Ruihong, the words Hao Jing and Ji Hao, and the numbers are Tuixi, Wengtao and Tuitao. Wenxi, Lian County, Anton District, North Korea. He has served as a judge of Cao Li, an art gallery judge, a judge of Duke Zhou, a magistrate of Danyang County, a secretary and a scholar. Seeing the disasters brought to Shilin by all previous "scholar disasters", he repeatedly asked the king to resign on the pretext of infirmity and old age. In his later years, he settled in his hometown, established an academy in Tuixi, engaged in education and wrote books. He is the author of Tuixi Collection (68 volumes), Zhuzi Shujie Yaoyao, Understanding Tao and Conveying Meaning, Interpretation of Heart Classics, Picture of Poor Days, Four Tails and Seven Emotions, etc.

In philosophy, Li Kun not only opposed materialism represented by Xu Jingde, but also rejected the subjective idealism of Buddhism and Wang Yangming, and believed in Zhu's objective idealism. He believes that "reason" is the source and master of the world. Without reason, there would be no heaven and earth and all mankind, and nothing would exist. He inherited Zhu's view that there was "reason" before the existence of heaven and earth, before the existence of monarch and minister, and before the existence of father and son, and regarded "reason" as a supernatural spiritual ontology that transcended time, from which nature and the whole human society were derived, but it was only a manifestation.

Li Ming opposes Wang Yangming's theory of "unity of knowledge and action" and believes Zhu's theory of "foresight". But he also thinks that there are two kinds of human nature, namely "the nature of sex" and "the nature of temperament". There are three kinds of people who are higher than wisdom, medium than human beings and lower than fools, that is, those who combine justice with knowing and doing belong to people with high wisdom. People who are "content but not satisfied" are "middlemen"; Li Jue, a "fool", defended the rationality of the feudal social hierarchy in the Li Dynasty. At the same time, Li Wei believes that although people have a "temperament" gap, through continuous reading and cultivation, the gap can be narrowed, and they can also reach the status of saints.

Li Meng emphasized "justice" and "human desire", right? People are required to give up "human desire" and obey "justice". In his view, "four emotions" is different from "human desire" and "four emotions" is "natural justice", but "seven emotions" is not the same as "human desire". Because "seven emotions" include two possibilities of doing good and doing evil, "human desire" must be "evil" "Tian Li" and "human desire" are completely opposite and cannot coexist. The purpose of reading and self-cultivation is to get rid of "human desire" and restore "justice". Li Meng's concept of "reason and desire" reflected the thoughts and interests of the feudal rulers of the Li Dynasty at that time.

Liu Yun's philosophical thoughts have had a far-reaching impact on the history of Korean philosophy and also on the development of Japanese Zhuzi studies.

Li Tuixi is a household name in Korea. In memory of this thinker, the Korean government printed his head on the third edition of 1000 won. In addition, there is a Tuixi Road in the north of Zhonglu District, Seoul Special City. Miss him. Lier

The front pattern still follows the portrait of Li Er, the greatest scholar in Korean history, plus the new pattern and bamboo in his birthplace. There are watermelons, butterflies, morning glory, five-star flowers and crickets on the back. Another possibility is dog tail flower. Sejong

Sejong is famous for his mastery of Confucianism. On the front is the design of King Sejong, the creator of Xun Min Yin Zheng, who was designated as a World Heritage Site. The background pattern is the five peaks of the sun, the moon and the dragonfly, and the background pattern on the back is the armillary sphere, the optical astronomical telescope and the sky-sky separation map.

In addition, South Korea will issue the first edition of 50,000 won and 654.38 million+won banknotes in the first half of 2009.

It was released on August 1975, and stopped on May 12 and 1993. Paper size is 163 x 73mm, and it is gravure printing. The front of the banknote is symbolized by Leo Lee's head and endless flowers, and the back is the pattern of Taoshan Academy.

Li Jue: Li Jue was a famous scholar and scholar in the middle of the Korean era, and was also the main advocate of the theory of "regulating qi and helping each other" at that time. Born in 150 1 year, died in 1570. Taoshan Academy was built by Li Wei in 1574 for teaching, educating people and academic research. 1575, Taoshan Academy was renamed "Ji" by the current emperor. College. Second edition

It was released in June 1983+0 1 and is still being released. Paper specification changed to 15 1×76mm, gravure printing. The back of the paper money is still the pattern of Taoshan Academy, and the front is still the head of Leo Lee as a symbol. The difference is that the flowers in the last edition are inexhaustible and become pots.

The difference between the second edition and the first edition is that the original version of the first edition is made in Japan, while the original version of the second edition is made by the Korean Mint Company itself and uses anti-counterfeiting technology. Third?

It is also the latest edition, issued on June 22, 2007, with paper specification 136 x 68 and gravure printing. The patterns on the front and back of paper money have also changed. On the front, the head of Lilian, who retired from the stream, and the pattern of Mingluntang are the main ones, while on the back, the pattern of "Living in a Quiet House in the Stream" is the main one. Minglun Hall is a lecture hall specially set up by students of Sungkyunkwan or local schools in Seoul during the Korean Dynasty. The quiet residence by the stream is a realistic picture of Taoshan.

The manufacturing method of the third edition of thousand yuan banknotes follows the "New banknote issuance scheme for anti-counterfeiting banknotes" published on April 18, 2005, changes the specifications and patterns of banknotes, and adopts a large number of sophisticated anti-counterfeiting technologies. It has stopped.

The Jin Zhenghao government originally planned to issue 654.38 million+won banknotes in early 2009, because there was a sharp disagreement over whether Dokdo (called "Bamboo Island" in Japan), the pattern on the back of 654.38 million+won banknotes, was marked on the map of Dadongyu, South Korea, and decided to temporarily suspend the issuance plan of 654.38 million+won banknotes. The South Korean government initially decided that the front pattern of the 65,438+10,000 won banknote should be a portrait of Bai Jiu and the back of the banknote should be a map of Dadong Island. However, the fact that Dokdo is not marked on the map of Dadong Island becomes a problem.

After Japan declared the sovereignty of Dokdo in textbooks in July 2008, the South Korean government put forward the idea of adding Dokdo to the new banknote pattern "Dadong Island Map", and the debate around this issue lasted for three months.

It is reported that the South Korean Foreign Ministry and other parties said: "Joining Dokdo, which was not in the original map, will lead to diplomatic problems due to the dispute between true and false." However, some people put forward opinions in a tit-for-tat manner: "Considering the national sentiment, we must join Dokdo." Some people also suggested "using other maps marking Dokdo" and "using the third pattern", but they were not adopted.

It is reported that some conservative groups opposed the use of Mr. Jin Jiu's portrait and advocated the use of portraits of former President park chung-hee and others, which also had an impact.

A core person in charge of Cheongwadae said: "The government thinks it is difficult to make a decision, so it requires the Bank of Korea to temporarily suspend the issuance plan of 65,438+10,000 won face value banknotes before reaching a clear conclusion on the pattern issue."

The person in charge said: "Recently, the use of credit cards and family banks has increased significantly, so the use of 65,438+10,000 won checks has continued to decrease. In addition, it is also believed that 65438+ 10,000 won banknotes may be used for illegal purposes such as bribery or accepting political funds. " The latest news

South Korea's direct support for RMB-won.

After the ruling New National Party of South Korea called for a response to the increasing use of the renminbi, the country took another step towards realizing the first direct transaction between the won and the renminbi.

China is Korea's largest export market, and the RMB deposits of Korean residents increased nearly 39 times in 20 13, reaching 6.67 billion US dollars. However, looking back at history, the Korean won-yen market that started at 1996 and 10 was only a flash in the pan, and the downturn in trading volume led to the closure of this market at 1997 in February.

Ann Zheng Fan, a member of the New National Party, said earlier, "Considering China's increasing weight in trade and transactions, we are studying whether it is necessary for South Korea to set up a RMB exchange. This requires discussing this idea with the government. " World Currency Asian Currency Return Directory
