Yep, 100%. And the 10-Won is copper-coated Al.
The Bank of Korea and the South Korean Mint, KOMSCO, have announced a 2020 Proof Set of the nation's circulation coins to mark the 70th...
Thanks for this thread! Cheers.
Having to play a "counterfeit Where's Waldo" seems easy to do for this family of counterfeits: Just find uncirculated-condition half-cents...

Recent eBay purchase. 1970 10-Won South Korea (88% Cu, 12% Zn variety). I'm guessing that NGC would grade it MS-64? I was very pleased with this...

Still legal tender... You've got 16,000 KRW (approx. $13.00 USD currently). Back in 1991, it was worth $22 USD, which today had the purchasing...
