<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 2514668, member: 16729&quot;]They all have the title, &quot;Coins of Korea&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; Both the Regular and Foreign mint sets do.&nbsp; It&#039;s just that the Foreign ones don&#039;t have the Korean hangul writing on them at all on the cover/slipcase.&nbsp; That&#039;s how I tell.&nbsp; I believe that the Foreign sets do have better strikes for the years 2005 to 2014.&nbsp; I cannot really tell for sure, but the coins look like they are in better shape to me.&nbsp; I do not think that they used any special process, maybe just made sure they used ones without severe bag marks(?)&nbsp; &nbsp; These Foreign sets were NOT given as diplomatic gifts, according to one of my Korean sources.&nbsp;&nbsp; They were given to foreign visitors to the Mint, usually members of minting agencies who came to Korea to see how the Koreans make their banknotes with more anti-counterfeiting features than any U.S. or Euro banknotes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
