<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 3221605, member: 16729&quot;]Yeah, I think you kind of elucidated the reason why people hoard South Korean coins rather than spend them:&nbsp; The coins&#039; relatively low value compared to the pricey economy in which they operate.&nbsp; It takes a while to gather up enough to have enough value to actually buy something!&nbsp; Unless you wash and dry your clothes at a laundromat, or you are always buying drinks and food from a vending machine, you probably just aren&#039;t using coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><font size="4">Hey, isn&#039;t that the same problem in the USA?</font></p><p><br /></p><p>The Bank of Korea is aware that their coins have low value, but just won&#039;t do anything like make higher-value coins because the country is supposed to go &quot;coinless&quot; in 2020. THAT will solve that problem, right? </p><p><br /></p><p>Well, I will wait and see.&nbsp; I&#039;m not exactly sure that plan will come to fruition.&nbsp; Other Korean government plans were to have a robot in every home(!) and an tablet for every school student (these were actual government plans).&nbsp; Yeah, well, those never happened either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
