North Korean Bills

I forgot I had these stashed away and figured I post them /show them off. I have two more sheets that I will post as soon as I get my scanner figured out.

When I saw the video I was hoping for this. Though I'm sure your version is probably closer to reality. But isn't it nice to dream...

 

I'm always afraid I have a couple of printed notes from North Korea in my wallet. Not by design.

 

I don't get it...like they're sneaking up on you?

 

The people waving the pink/red thingies at the end remind me of this

(No cultural disrespect intended)

 

FurryFrog02-
I'm waiting for the fat kid to break-out his branded Nike trakkie, LOL

p.s. since when did Disney open up a theme-park in embargoed NK?

I'm sure.

 

Read the first paragraph again. Did you notice the word "unauthorized"? Kim used the characters without permission. North Korea is wont to do things like that.

 

Shh, it's my legal disclamer

 

I have a few North Korean notes in my collection: http://www.panix.com/~clay/currency/North-Korea.html

 

Nice clayirving!

 

Very Nice!!

 

Nice clayirving. I'm wondering why P8-P11 are backwards?

 

Why do you think that they are backwards?

 

I've seen a bunch of those in ChCu at my local coin shop, but never purchased any since I usually don't collect world notes. Do any have value over the $1 - $2 asking price?

 

The writing is backwards. Instead of saying 1 won(il won) it says won il, won oh(won 5), won ship(won 10), and won bek(won 100). The back above the mountain says : san jo ju min. Now I've only spoken Korean for 5 years and don't claim to know much about older North Korea(n) but I know they call themselvles Jo San Min ju ju wee in min gong hwa guk. So the first part seems backwards to me.
PS - sorry for the terrible romanization. When I normally type Korean it's either in Korean or SKATs. I suck with romanization.

 

Interesting. I have no idea why they're worded like that.
