The numbers are so high, yet even the highest note is worth so little. In the Eurozone no one casually walks around with the highest bank note (500€). You can't even pay with it for a lot of things and in most places people would give you strange looks if you did pay with it. In fact you will have a hard time buying bus tickets with the three highest notes (100€, 200€, 500€) and I believe in most places bus drivers won't accept 50€ either (though you might be able to buy tickets at a station with it). I'll rarely carry anything higher than 50€ and in fact I don't think I've even seen a 500€ note in person. Few people ever pay that much in cash with a single note. I don't think there are any ATMs that will carry those in the first place. For reference, at the current exchange rate, 500€ are about 662,603 원.
High? Haha, you should check out the currencies in Vietnam, Bali, Turkey... There it's like in the THOUSANDS for a drink. 1 dollar is like 23,000 dongs.
@@amberleaf7 Turkey drop zeroes like 10 years ago so you pay like 5-8 lira for a drink or something... but in the past people use millions but whatever.
"Do you like my chain?" "Yo chain mean nothing to me." "Do you like my chain? 3 dolla." *Jiminie judgeing his bf in da backround* SORRY YOONMIN SHIPPER HERE
Great episode, you two are such a laugh. Hyojin every time you say football it makes me so happy (you have chosen well ^^) Thanks TTMIK & Hyunwoo for getting me to feature! :D
Coworkers keep telling me that it's expensive to take a vacation in Seoul. Though none of them have actually been there, so that should have been a clue not to listen. From what you said is 50,000 won is basically $50.00. Now I know I won't starve when I ever get out there for my 7 day vacation. Thanks :)
Here in the US, I would say that most people carry around $20 or $50 as their largest note. It's still good to have larger notes in case you want to make larger purchases and don't want to use credit or debit cards.
Keith is like soooo funny :DD He and Hyojin get along well like siblings and tease each other hahah! In Finland the smallest coin is 5 cents and the biggest note is 500€. We have seven different notes and six different coins all in all ^^.
We have up to 10,000SGD bills in Singapore so its very convenient. It's about 8,600,000KRW so you need not carry so many bills around although it's rarely used.
So if a thousand wan equals about a dollar then that means the biggest bill in korea is 50 ? I live in switzerland and we have 10 20,50,100,200,1000, the thousand fank bill doesn't get used a lot but 100 and 200 get used a lot. If 50 were the highest it would be a big problem.
I think in Korea they have something like cashier cheques, which are regarded as legal tender (real money). You see it in dramas all the time. They look like the usual cheques and have the amount printed on them, but I don't remember if names are required to be printed on those. In dramas these can typically go up to the million-won numbers. Hyojin noona and Keith hyung, please do a Part2 to this video about this too!!!
I think they should keep it. It's basically $10 which is a useful note to have. I like the note system we have here in the US; $1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, etc. Maybe get rid of the $2(2,000 won) note...
Korean currency is so different from my country's! I live in Chile and we have coins for 1, 5, 10, 50, 100 and 500 peso (chilean currency is peso) and then we have notes for 1000, 2000, 5000, 10 000 and 20 000. Interesting to notice how different money can be.
American money! Penny (1 cent), nickel (5 cents), dime (10 cents), quarter (25 cents) - (You could also find a 1 dollar coin, but these are rare) Then we have 1 dollar, 5 dollar, 10 dollar, 20 dollar, 50 dollar, and 100 dollar bills (and if you're lucky, sometimes you find a rare 2 dollar bill)
US has $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 (1 US dollar currently is worth .75 Euro), there is a $2 bill but it's practically never used. plus there's 1 cent, 5 cent, 10 cent, 25 cent, (50 cent but very rarely ever used), and $1 coin mainly for some vending machines.
our biggest note is 500 euro... you cant use it at a lot of places just like the 10won.. but you could see 500euro as 750.000won... and yes thats alot!
In Singapore we have a really huge margin between inexpensive food and expensive food. There's a whole ton hawker centers that house tons of stalls selling a huge variety of Singaporean and non Singaporean food, all of them $4 at most. But food in like shopping malls or higher class restaurants are I guess the Normal price or a little higher than most other countries.
In America it's weird. Foodstalls would cost about the same as food in the mall. We actually dont even have Foodstalls at all in most places, we just have food trucks. The cheapest food is fast food and junk food. Food that is good and healthy is actually the most expensive out of any food. Btw, our names are similar.
Jimin is very So fun! Lol out names Yeah I don't think I've ever seen a food truck or ice cream truck in my life. our ice cream truck is more like an ice cream cart
yay, so happy to see all my favorite korea-youtubers giving each other shoutouts and stuff! Abbi's channel is amazing; i would definitely advise checking it out! and awwk Hyojin and Keith's interactions are always really adorable :)
Yea, I've seen those too. I'm not really sure how they work though. It looks something like a cashier's check that we have in the US. If that's the case then it's more convenient to have 100,000 and larger notes. I personally prefer using credit cards to pay as long as you pay it off every month. Most credit cards even give you back a % of what you spend. I usually get back around $50 a year... ^_^
Thank God. I remember having a few 100,000 Won supyo that I carried with me as my main form of funds when I visited Jeju once, years ago. Imagine being told by a bank manager that your supyo issued by a bank in Seoul was not cashable in Jeju. At ANY bank, even a Jeju branch of the same bank that issued them in Seoul(!) That's what happened to me! I had to take the ferry back to the mainland, fast.
wow!!! i jusr subscribed yesterday to Abigael. nice to see her here ^_^ and great video gyus! i laughed and learned a lot! keep doing a wonderful job! and keith.. please upload something on your channel, its been a week or tow ㅠ.ㅠ is it because of your hair!! hehe ^.^"
Oh, you mean, 수표 [su-pyo]? Yes. We have those. It can be as small as 100,000 and as large as... I don't know for sure how large it can be but yeah, it can be as large as 1,000,000 won (or larger). In order to use them, you have to sign on the back of the 수표, and sometimes they ask you to leave your phone number too. The thing is, though, I haven't seen people using 수표 that much these days. Maybe in the business world but not so much in everyday life.
In malaysia we carry mostly 50 notesand a lot of 1dollar notes , but whn i was in england, it was mostly 10/20 pounds notes ... 50 pounds is a bit too much to carry around most of the time,,well 10 pounds equal 50 malaysia ringgit
1,050 won = £0.59... I'm doubting the converter's accuracy because either I've forgotten what 1 thousand and 50 looks like, or your buses are ridiculously cheap... like, 1 bus journey for us is £3? Kinda depends on distance, but it'd be £3 for me...
In England we have 1 pence, 2 pence, 5 pence, 20 pence and 50 pence coins, plus we have £1 coins and rare £2 coins. For notes we have £5, £10, £20 and £50.
Great video guise! :) King Sejong daebak!! :)) I remember there was this teacher in "Sungkyunkwan Scandel"(drama) that was really cool... argh I can't remember his name > . < (I wonder if in real life history there was someone as him...)
Ok. You said you could go to a soccer game with 10 000 won. with the current exchange rate, 10 000 won is $9.20 Australian dollars. That is so cheap. incredibly cheap. The biggest note in Australia is the $100 note, which is around 107,000 won. Wow. I'm kinda shocked. It costs around $50 to go to an AFL (Australian Football League) game here.. Wow. $10 verses $50 that is a big difference. O_O
I can help you in Italy eh :) by the way, Korean money are more interesting than euro ......and you don't have that super tiny 5mm coin...they are useless but at least you don't loose them :)
I swear everything in Korea is cheaper and better.... I think like the cheapest tickets for any game in my area (Boston) is probably like 30-40 dollars for a last minute seat
You forgot the 1 Won and 5 Won coins. KOMSCO (the Korean mint) still makes them every year. All coins and bills minted and printed since June 12, 1962 are STILL legal tender. I wouldn't try taking them to a bank to deposit them, though. I'm sure the bank manager would tell you to take a hike, even though it IS still money in Korea. The crane design on the 500 Won coin has been criticized by one of Korea's former currency designers. These two on this video are SO annoying, btw...
십원, huh? Sounds like pennies in America. I remember this time when I went and bought 5 dollars worth of goods in pennies at the grocery store. I was pretty young and had it from my piggy bank, but I'm sure they hated me anyways. xD
jailbirdx0x Bank of Korea tries to make a 100,000 won note they are forcing to make shipmanwon but We have 수표(Supyo) it's like a check but you can pay it like a normal note and to can write how much you like/ desire amount.

we have £100 notes which actually equal like ₩165200 mannn id be rich as heck in korea. the british currency is so expensive compared!
Yeah exactly haha. my best friend is korean and she tells me the food is super cheap too, which would make a good change

Aaaah, they're so cute. I'm having a little marathon of Ask Hyojin videos since I miss Hyojin so much. ㅜㅜㅜㅜ
so won is basically like lira, pesetas, escudos from back then.
everybody is a millionair in Korea?
What more about Vietnamese and Indonesian monies
I am only interested in those duo, Hyojin and Keith. They are so funny.
Keep having guest appearances at the end of your videos please! I'm finding really cool people.

To know how much CHF (swiss currency) you have with wons, just divide your won by 1000.
So 1000 Won is like 1CHF, 50'000 Won is 50 CHF.
agraffy that's actually such an easy way to calculate it
Yeah… we have $100 notes here in Hoju… and i think that alot of other countries have a similar amount
our biggest note is 500 euro... you cant use it at a lot of places just like the 10won.. but you could see 500euro as 750.000won... and yes thats alot!

aw Abigael!! i LOVE HER!!
50,000 won was entered into Korean circulation on August 2009
Abigael at the end! I love her videos! :D
For some reason, its the same bill denominations in Korea and Colombia
There's also proposal
For making 100,000 won too or another proposal is slashing 3 zeros from the cash redominate the won
Nice video Thank you!
Thank you for making this video! I am going to Korea in August and I was really worried about money! Now I am not so worried :))
thank you for this vedio 💕✨💕

thanks for the vid!
감사합니다 This Helped A Lot :D
The gov should print larger notes...50,000 is still too small. I think you need at least 100,000 as the largest one.
1,050 won = £0.59... I'm doubting the converter's accuracy because either I've forgotten what 1 thousand and 50 looks like, or your buses are ridiculously cheap... like, 1 bus journey for us is £3? Kinda depends on distance, but it'd be £3 for me...
The only thing that I don't understand is the conversion between Korean won and United States dollar. Why is 1,136 won 1$ ? Wouldn't it be $11.36?
tiara miller easiest way to guestimate is, drop 3 zeros and thats roughly the usd equivalent. *check exchange rates daily fir accuracy.

10 pence
50 pence
1 pound
2 pounds

5 pounds
10 pounds
20 pounds
