- In this video, we're going to look at some banknotes I was extremely fortunate to get my hands on. These are notes from North Korea. They're not just hard to get. They're almost IMPOSSIBLE. First of all, their's virtually no tourism in North Korea. But even if you could get in the country, foreigners are not even allowed to have any North Korean money. And it is illegal for anyone to remove it from the country. Let's take a closer look!

North Korea has same beautiful banknotes but you could go to South Korea and near the DMZ you can buy some North Korean notes
That's a very interesting and cool purchase. Definitely something different. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you liked this video!
Great notes!
Thanks! If I was smart, I'd have picked some up for you, too!
SUPER AMAZING, JAMES! Unbelievable currency and incredible information! Home yet? If so coming at you.
Just about to hop on a plane!
@@CADRollHunter Have a safe journey, James!
Got a bunch at a auction. Plus two packs of 100. Cool notes
That's a great pick-up!
@@CADRollHunter see them described as upper korea online. Kinda thierway around the embargo
Interesting!
I found a North Korean 5 jeon (0.05 won) coin in a world coin bin once at a coin show. Sometimes in South Korea, you'll see North Korean money in flea markets, though there's no telling how they wound up with it in the first place.
As an aside: I know someone who went to North Korea on a mission trip some years ago. I've been told most people seem to eschew their own currency in favor of US dollars, euros, or Japanese yen.
I've heard that you can find some of this stuff in South Korea and also China, close to the border. Foreigners are strictly forbidden from posessing this money, so it would be interesting to know how it moves about, but I agree that any North Korean might be willing to trade for foreign currency (though what they could actually do with it there is a mystery to me!). Thanks so much for watching!
I'm starting to wonder how much will these cost...
I got a super deal, but I can't find them for sale anywhere online. Definitely hard to get.
Some good finds considering one would otherwise not be able to visit North Korea. To me, it feels great to travel the world through currency. The designs on reverse are beautiful...yes, similar to Canada's landscape series on bills. Excellent paper condition.
The collector I purchased it from actually had several of each denomination, all in excellent condition. I was fortunate to be able to purchase them!
Can you be arrested for owning those notes?If two men in black,run out the back door as fast as you can.But seriously,those are beautiful notes.An awesome video 👌. Thanks for sharing with us.Keep your 👀 peeled.
Lol! No issue here, but someone probably risked prison (or worse!) to get it out of North Korea!
@@CADRollHunter I hoped that they stay safe.We in the west take things for granted.
Did you get any king charles coin out in the wild yet?
Hello from Alberta, I was able to find 2 toonies and 1 quarter KC coins in my last coin roll hunt. Good luck and happy hunting.
Nice, beautiful bills.
Thanks, Abeer!
Be careful Kim could ask Trudeau to extradite you away to a prison work camp for this video 😅
Don't tell!!
😂
North Korea is cool. I saw one of the Saddam notes in a shop recently.
They are coming for you!
I'm currently in hiding!
1 US Dollar = 900 North Korean Won.
I'm rich!!
Not this won! The North Korean won was revalued twice: 1959 and 2009. The bills that @CADRollHunter is showing us here are no longer valid.
For many years North Korea kept a symbolic exchange rate of 2.16 North Korean won to the US dollar, said to be based on Kim Il-Sung's birthday (February 16). Then they abandoned that peg around 2001 and you can imagine what happened there...
That's some great additional information. I didn't know that! Thanks so much for sharing. I'm always looking to learn, and so I appreciate it!
