  I find it interesting that the 1 won and 5 won coins are still issued for inclusion in mint sets. They stopped making them for circulation back in 1992.

  Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.

  Yes, those two denominations have only been produced for inclusion in the annual mint and gift sets. They've struck 'em in proof finish for special sets in years 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2020. I wrote a 400-page book in Korean coins.

  What is the name of the book?

  Llamas and alpacas are camels. They aren't like camels, or related. They are camels. When was anyone going to tell me this?! How long had Bill Nye been holding out on us?

  South Korean Coins in the Era of Development is the name of the book. I have a sale going on, so the price is a little lower for a time.
