Korean series.&nbsp; Prior to that coin, the 500-Won denomination was a banknote.&nbsp; They remonetized it as a coin in 1982, supposedly because people needed a larger denomination coin for vending machines.&nbsp; Korean friends of mine have told me that when they changed the 500Won from a banknote to a coin, people perceived the &quot;value&quot; of 500 Won to be much less than when it was a note. </font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
