About Nepalese Rupee ()

The Nepalese Rupee (NPR, ISO 4217 code 524, symbol ₨ or Rs) is the official currency of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, issued by the Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB, est. 1956). Subdivided into 100 paisa. Banknotes: ₨5, ₨10, ₨20, ₨50, ₨100, ₨500, ₨1,000 (the highest denomination; current 'Nepal Rastra Bank' series features Nepalese landscapes and wildlife including Mount Everest, the Bengal tiger, and traditional Nepali themes); coins: ₨1, ₨2, ₨5, ₨10. The Nepalese rupee has been pegged to the Indian rupee at NPR1.6 per INR since February 12, 1993 — making NPR effectively a managed proxy for INR. Nepal abolished its 240-year-old monarchy in 2008 and became a federal democratic republic. The country is sandwiched between India (south, east, west) and China (north — the Himalayan border) and is heavily dependent on remittances (~25-30% of GDP) from migrant workers in Gulf states, Malaysia, and India. Nepal contains 8 of the world's 10 highest peaks (Mount Everest 8,848m, Kangchenjunga 8,586m, Lhotse 8,516m, Makalu 8,481m, Cho Oyu 8,201m, Dhaulagiri 8,167m, Manaslu 8,163m, Annapurna I 8,091m). Tourism contributes ~7% of GDP.

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(Sin Saimdang — the first Korean banknote featuring a woman, since 2009); coins: ₩10, ₩50, ₩100, ₩500 (₩1 and ₩5 coins withdrawn from circulation, technically still legal tender).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.
