About Colombian Peso ($)
The Colombian Peso (COP, ISO 4217 code 170, symbol $; sometimes written Col$ to distinguish from other peso currencies) is the official currency of the Republic of Colombia, issued by the Banco de la República (BR, est. 1923). Subdivided into 100 centavos (no longer in physical circulation due to long-term inflation). Banknotes: $2,000, $5,000, $10,000, $20,000, $50,000, $100,000 (the highest denomination; current series features Colombian women, indigenous landscapes, biodiversity — Débora Arango on $2,000, José Asunción Silva on $5,000, Virginia Gutiérrez on $10,000, Alfonso López Michelsen on $20,000, Gabriel García Márquez on $50,000, Carlos Lleras Restrepo on $100,000); coins: $50, $100, $200, $500, $1,000. Colombia is South America's 4th-largest economy (~$370B GDP in 2024). Major exports include crude oil (Colombia produces ~750,000 bpd), coffee (the world's 3rd-largest producer after Brazil and Vietnam, with Federación Nacional de Cafeteros marketing 'Café de Colombia'), coal, gold, and emeralds (the world's finest emeralds come from Muzo + Chivor + Coscuez mines). BR targets 3% CPI inflation ± 1%.
About South Korean Won (₩)
The South Korean Won (KRW, ISO 4217 code 410, symbol ₩) is the official currency of the Republic of Korea, issued by the Bank of Korea (BoK, est. 1950). Subdivided into 100 jeon (no longer in circulation). Banknotes: ₩1,000 (Yi Hwang), ₩5,000 (Yi I), ₩10,000 (King Sejong the Great), ₩50,000 (Sin Saimdang — the first Korean banknote featuring a woman, since 2009); coins: ₩10, ₩50, ₩100, ₩500 (₩1 and ₩5 coins withdrawn from circulation, technically still legal tender). North Korea uses a separate Won (KPW), not internationally tradable. KRW is freely floating but the BoK occasionally intervenes — the 'kimchi premium' on cryptocurrency (Korean BTC trading 5-30% above global average) results from capital-controls residue. South Korea is the world's 10th-largest economy by nominal GDP (~$1.8T) and the home of Samsung, LG, Hyundai-Kia, SK Hynix, and Posco — Korean exports (chips, autos, ships) drive significant USD/KRW FX flows. The BoK targets 2% CPI inflation per the inflation-targeting framework adopted in 1998.
