Talk:South Korean won (1945–1953)

message: Bank of Korea's site says that the 1950 issued notes were printed by: 일본내각인쇄국. It translates as:
:
일본  	Japan
내각  	cabinet / ministry
인쇄  	printing
국   	nation (suffix)
My best guess would be that it represent the japanese "National Printing Bureau", which as been responsible for printing banknotes, stamp, passport and gouvermental documents since it was founded by the Ministry of Finance in 1871. And according to  in 1950 it's english name was "Printing Agency". — Luccas 23:23, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: The idea that there were Japanese-produced 1 jeon coins in circulation at this time appears to stem from a mistranslation of the phrase "일본정부의 소액보조화폐(1錢 주화)" from the Bank of Korea's website. Both here and on the English-language version of the Bank of Korea's website (here and here), this has been mistranslated as 1-jeon coin; however, this is referring to the 1 sen coin of the Japanese yen, which had circulated throughout the Japanese occupation of Korea and appeared to continue to do so until 17 February 1953, when circulation ceased (this date is in the Korean version of this page; it is oddly omitted from the English version). The cause of the confusion is the fact that character 錢 is used both for the Korean jeon, and for the Japanese sen. I will update the page to clarify this point.

message: * Pardon my late participation. I really don't care about what format we use. We just need a consistent guide line and apply them. That being said, I must point out that there is already inconsistency in the currency world in Wikipedia. For example, New Taiwan dollar/Old Taiwan dollar, Turkish lira/Turkish new lira, Israeli sheqel/Israeli new sheqel, in contrast with Dove's examples. Either scheme has cons and pros. I'll just write the cons.
:* Same (country, currency name) tuple goes to the same article
::Size issue as Luccas pointed out. Lumping discontinued segments in history together.
:* Separate by rednomination
::We may end up with many small articles, especially for Yugoslavia, Russia.
:Either way, we will have implementation difficulty. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 00:42, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Better late than never. Actually, only one of your three examples causes any problem, New Taiwan dollar/Old Taiwan dollar. These names are both anachronistic but I haven't got up the courage to try and fix them, beyond the short pieces on both in Chinese yuan. The other two cases include the word "new" in the officially used currency names (i.e., "new" is on the coins and banknotes). The article size problem can be got around by moving all the nice pictures of the coins and banknotes to separate articles, as has been done in Hungarian forint. It strikes me that there are a few outstanding "messes" that need sorting out. The creation of this article is just one more article than Wikipedia needs.Dove1950 22:11, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Just FYI, "new" in "New Taiwan dollar" is omnipresent on official documents, even though it's not on the physical currencies, or daily conversation. We also have to take care of the problem of interwiki. Splitting is easy, merging is harder. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 22:29, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
