I have a pretty large collection of North Korean banknotes. I think I have maybe 17 or so different types. I do want to add some more to that collection. Of course, I have a large South Korean collection from notes over the past decades and now.
This must be the old money that was discontinued. Probably a replica that had been sold abroad and wasn’t legally in use.
I have a couple of [NK 2000 won notes](http://www.daehanmindecline.com/2021/20211231phone1/85.jpg). They are not in good shape because they were in circulation before being given to me as change accidentally by a confused North Korean at a trade fair (which I was under the impression was illegal).

I’m calling it. A 100,000 won bill is gonna come out soon. I’m not a baller or anything, but what is equivalent to about $40 as the highest bill is too small.

Honeslty, I like some of the Northern designs, like the [50 Won with the intellectual, worker, and peasant](http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/ASI/KON/KON0052.htm), [2000 won with the so-called “Secret Camp”](http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/ASI/KON/KON0065.htm), and especially the [5 won with the scientist and his student](http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/ASI/KON/KONCS0009.htm).
