Recently, a self-employed person revealed the story of receiving a rare old bill of 10,000 won by a customer. This 10,000 won note was issued in 1973 and expired in 1981. Because it is in relatively good condition, netizens responded by saying, “Keep it” and “If you sell it on the second-hand market, it will sell for much more expensive money. “

On the 6th, a picture of an old won bill of 10,000 used by a customer was posted on the self-employed community ‘I’m the boss because I’m sick.’ Informant A posted a photo saying, “The money the customer paid is (Koo Hyeong-kwon),” along with a short question: “Will they change it if I go to the bank?” The 10,000 won bill in the photo appears to be an old 10,000 won bill, and although it showed signs of use, the damage was relatively minor.

According to the Bank of Korea, the official name of this old 10,000 won note is the ‘Ga 10,000 Won Note’ and it was issued on June 12, 1973. It is a 10,000 won note with the portrait of the King Sejong on the front and the Geunjeongjeon Hall of Gyeongbokgung Palace on the back. The dimensions are 171mm wide and 81mm tall, which is larger than the current money, the ‘Bar 10,000 won’ note (148mm wide, 68mm tall), and unlike the ‘Bar 10,000 won’ note where King Sejong is on the right side. of the coin, King Sejong the Great is on the left side of the coin.

This money was supposed to be issued together with the ‘5,000 Win Note Temporary’ in 1972, but due to problems with the design material (Seokguram Grotto, Bulguksa Temple), the design is said to have been replaced by a portrait of King Sejong the Great. A horizontal and vertical expansion type was adopted as the standard system, and metal lines and ultraviolet ray detection elements were inserted. The ‘10,000 notes won’ expired on November 10, 1981.

Netizens who saw this said, “This is the first time I’ve seen an old won bill of 10,000. “I think it’s worth more than 10,000 won.” “It’s lucky money. “Don’t change it.” “It must be hard to find this kind of money. “If it were me, I’d keep it.” “Maybe you accidentally gave away something you treasured. “Maybe you’re really looking for it,” he said. “It’s a shame it’s in such a poor state of preservation.” One netizen said, “It’s my birth year. Can I change it for you?”

In fact, these 10,000 won bills are traded at a high price on second-hand trading sites. There is also a recent transaction posting that this 10,000 won bill, which is in very good condition and very well preserved, is selling for around 200,000 won. The currency can be exchanged for the same amount of current money at the Bank of Korea and financial institutions.
