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(Sin Saimdang — the first Korean banknote featuring a woman, since 2009); coins: ₩10, ₩50, ₩100, ₩500 (₩1 and ₩5 coins withdrawn from circulation, technically still legal tender).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 Tanzanian Shilling (TSh)
The Tanzanian Shilling (TZS, ISO 4217 code 834, symbol TSh) is the official currency of the United Republic of Tanzania (mainland Tanzania + Zanzibar), issued by the Bank of Tanzania (BoT, est. 1965). Subdivided into 100 cents (no longer in use). Banknotes: TSh500, TSh1,000, TSh2,000, TSh5,000, TSh10,000 (highest denomination; current series introduced 2010-2011 features Tanzanian wildlife — giraffe, elephant, rhino, lion — and Mount Kilimanjaro at 5,895m, Africa's highest peak); coins: TSh50, TSh100, TSh200, TSh500. Tanzania is one of East Africa's largest economies (~$84B GDP in 2024) and a major exporter of gold (Africa's 4th-largest gold producer), tanzanite (the only commercial source globally — found exclusively at Merelani Hills near Mount Kilimanjaro), coffee, cashews, and cotton. Tourism contributes significantly (Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Zanzibar archipelago, Kilimanjaro climbing). The BoT targets 5% CPI inflation. Tanzania uses a managed-float exchange rate regime. The East African Community (EAC) has long-term plans for monetary integration with Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi.
