<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 8026762, member: 16729&quot;]Thanks for your helpful suggestions!</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I could ask Mr. Jeon if he could do that, but the Korean Mint is under the authority of the central bank in South Korea, and the Bank of Korea (the central bank) has embargoed the sharing of internal information beyond their latest public publication (2010) explaining Korean currency and coins.&nbsp; Trust me on this point: I&#039;ve been there before during the research phase of my book!&nbsp; I&#039;d have to FIRST contact the Bank of Korea to obtain such a letter.&nbsp; They, of course, would say no.&nbsp; Mr. Jeon would NOT be allowed to use his official capacity to write such a letter on &quot;official letterhead.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>This is their policy ...so far.&nbsp; I am hoping that the publication of my book will create a buzz among numismatists in Korea that will encourage the leadership there to open their archives to future research so that, among other things, such attributions as this one can be explored.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
