<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DEA, post: 3272658, member: 90140&quot;]A few things I&#039;ve picked up on the North Korean coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As someone mentioned in this post (or in another one) - similar coins were minted for different users.&nbsp; Users that belong in North Korea, users from socialist (communist? totalitarian?) countries, and users from capitalist (totalitarian? military? democratic? social democratic?) countries.&nbsp; One star is a communist visitor&nbsp; - and I forget the rest.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Second, look out for these words - 견 본 - which means sample.&nbsp; My son&#039;s girlfriend is Korean.&nbsp; Her dad went to a flea market or gift shop in Seoul and found a number of North Korean coins, which he graciously obtained for me.&nbsp; Some of them had the word &quot;sample&quot; on them.&nbsp; Even though samples, I really like and appreciate them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Third (and finally) - 주 체 - as in &quot;주 체 97&quot; - represents the years since the birth of the &#039;great leader&#039;.&nbsp; I may not be entirely accurate but it is &#039;joo che&#039; or &#039;ju che&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
