<p>[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 2538936, member: 4373"]That is the idea insider. These coins were first released to government organization before they were released to the public. The idea is to first get the bank employees to get used to the coins. You need to realize that before this coin was first released in 1959 - the last time Korea used coins was when Korea was still a Japanese protectorate in 1910! So you have a generation of people who would have no idea what coins were at one stage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
