Korean 500-Won coins as &quot;500-Yen&quot; (and later 100-Won for 100-Yen) in vending and cash machines.&nbsp; That was the 1990s and early 2000s.</p><p><br /></p><p>The One and Five-Won coins haven&#039;t circulated since the late 1980s to early 1990s at the latest.&nbsp; They are only made for mint and gift sets produced by the Korean Mint and the Bank of Korea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
