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.

Extended data:

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 created the current high value of won, but it did not have much impact on the circulation of money.

In 2009, 50,000 won was issued according to market demand. The statement that "worthless" is unscientific, and it can only be said that the currency is rated higher.
