About Saudi Riyal (﷼)
The Saudi Riyal (SAR, ISO 4217 code 682, symbol ﷼ or SR) is the official currency of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, issued by the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA — Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority renamed to Saudi Central Bank in 2020, est. 1952). Subdivided into 100 halalas. Banknotes: SR1, SR5, SR10, SR50, SR100, SR200 (the SR200 introduced 2021 marking 5 years of Vision 2030), SR500 (the highest denomination; current 'Saudi 7th Edition' series features King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud portrait on all denominations and historic Saudi landmarks); coins: 1 halala, 5 halalas, 10 halalas, 25 halalas, 50 halalas, SR1, SR2. SAR has been pegged to USD at SR3.75 per USD since June 1986 (the longest-standing currency peg in the Gulf, predating the GCC monetary union proposal). Saudi Arabia is the world's 2nd-largest oil producer (~10 million bpd, after the US's ~13 million), the de facto leader of OPEC+, and holds the world's 2nd-largest proven oil reserves (~267 billion barrels per BP Statistical Review). Saudi Arabia hosts Aramco — the world's most profitable company by net income.
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(Sin Saimdang — the first Korean banknote featuring a woman, since 2009); coins: ₩10, ₩50, ₩100, ₩500 (₩1 and ₩5 coins withdrawn from circulation, technically still legal tender).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.
