    thanks :) I work at a tobacco store and have been finding odd littl coins here and there... well, so far only 3 - just adding them to the collection now - along with the 1945 silver half dollar and a sacagewean (I cannot spell that to save my life) gold dollar from 2k.

    I just found it odd that a Korean (thanks again, I tried everything!) coin would show up in a register draw in Maumelle, Ark!

    Fun find. As for how it came into your cash drawer? My best guess would be a GI returned home from being stationed in Korea. The 100 Won coin is about the same size as the Washington quarter so might easily get mixed up in pocket change.

    :)
