When Korea was founded, its currency was issued with reference to the Japanese yen. From 1 yuan-1 ,000 yuan denomination. The saying that "worthless" is unscientific, and it can only be said that the currency is rated higher. The number of coins printed in Korea is relatively large. In China, if you sell 1 yuan, you have to pay 100 yuan there, 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; Korean won 100 yuan, which used to be similar to 1 yuan, has now depreciated by about 50 cents.
