About the South Korean Won
The South Korean won (KRW) is the official currency of South Korea and is represented by the symbol ₩. The won is issued by the Bank of Korea and is available in a range of banknote and coin denominations. Modern South Korean banknotes feature prominent figures from Korean history and culture, together with distinctive colours and advanced security features. Commonly used banknotes include ₩1,000, ₩5,000, ₩10,000 and ₩50,000 notes. South Korea is one of Asia’s major economies and a popular destination for Australian travellers. The Korean won is widely used for travel, shopping and everyday transactions throughout the country. KRW remains a commonly exchanged foreign currency for travellers, businesses and visitors between Australia and South Korea.
