Message:: [QUOTE="DEA, post: 7760672, member: 90140"]You had me laughing out loud all the way through your post, mlov43!  Thank you.  I needed a good laugh.  Just short replies.  Yeah, I agree.  Many folks seem to like to get angry and complain.  I'm unsure if that's due to boredom or a severe lack of real problems in one's life.  Or if it's an ego issue.  I would have to agree with your take on DPRK coinage.  I would think that the DPRK's take in seigniorage of anything they 'approve' is staggering, no matter who produces the stuff for them.  Be it the Franklin Mint (hypothetically) or one of China's mints.  In addition, I admit to some very serious ignorance of the use of coinage or currency in the DPRK's domestic economy.  I suspect it is only a shadow of what we (or I) would think in comparison to just about any other sovereign state's domestic usage or economy.  LOL!  Yep, that's right.  Who the heck would bother to counterfeit them.  As a card carrying cynic, I assume that there are people (me included) who want a DPRK coin.  I realize I am not so very unique.  Thus, there is a market for DPRK coins.  Therefore, someone will likely create fakes to sell to fools like me if there is money to be made.  Finally, thanks for pointing out "yang" versus "bohn."  I can read Hangul (i.e., say the sound) but I most often cannot attach any meaning to the sound.  Unless it's simply an English word spelled with the Korean alphabet.[/QUOTE]
