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(Sin Saimdang — the first Korean banknote featuring a woman, since 2009); coins: ₩10, ₩50, ₩100, ₩500 (₩1 and ₩5 coins withdrawn from circulation, technically still legal tender).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 (~$1.8T) and the home of Samsung, LG, Hyundai-Kia, SK Hynix, and Posco — Korean exports (chips, autos, ships) drive significant USD/KRW FX flows. The BoK targets 2% CPI inflation per the inflation-targeting framework adopted in 1998.
About Dominican Peso (RD$)
The Dominican Peso (DOP, ISO 4217 code 214, symbol RD$ or just $) is the official currency of the Dominican Republic, issued by the Banco Central de la República Dominicana (BCRD, est. 1947). Subdivided into 100 centavos (no longer in active circulation). Banknotes: RD$20 (rare), RD$50, RD$100, RD$200, RD$500, RD$1,000, RD$2,000 (the highest denomination, introduced 2014; current series features Dominican historical figures — Padre Billini, Salomé Ureña, Juan Pablo Duarte, Gregorio Luperón, Salomé Ureña, Heroínas Mirabal sisters, Las Casas del Cordón); coins: RD$1, RD$5, RD$10, RD$25. The Dominican Republic is the Caribbean's largest economy by nominal GDP (~$120B in 2024) and one of Latin America's fastest-growing — averaging 5-6% GDP growth annually pre-COVID with strong post-pandemic recovery. Major economic sectors include tourism (the Caribbean's #1 tourist destination, ~10 million visitors annually — Punta Cana, Puerto Plata, Santo Domingo Colonial Zone UNESCO site), remittances (~10% of GDP from US diaspora — ~2 million Dominicans in the US), free-trade zone manufacturing (textiles, medical devices, electronics), mining (gold from Pueblo Viejo, Barrick Gold's largest single asset). BCRD targets 4% CPI inflation ± 1 percentage point.
