<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 4357284, member: 16729&quot;]Yeah, in 1980, the One-Won coins were already pretty useless to consumers, although you could still get them as change.&nbsp; By about 1973~1975 the consumer price index in South Korea made the One-Won denomination much less useful as a store of value.&nbsp; These coins started to pile up in people&#039;s desk drawers, piggy banks and jam jars at home.&nbsp; By 1983, the government no longer figured taxes or utilities in increments below 10 won, so the One and Five-Won both were essentially finished after that.&nbsp; You can read about these coins in the article I have linked in my signature below...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
