how about these ?? :
top bill is 10 Won from South Korea (1969) .... bottom bill is 100 Yuan from China (1943)
The 10 Won bill is worth $0.01 USD (one penny)
The 100 Yuan bill is worth about $15.00 USD

And yes, while Canada no longer mints their "penny" (because it costs more to make than it's worth) it is still legal tender.
At least our money is worth more in Canada.
Wish the US would do away with pennies.
Nice Pappy. So when you gonna go back there to spend it?Quote:

As luck would have it, Korea was considered a "hardship tour" which meant 13 months there & the remaining 5months would be dropped & I would be discharged.
The Chinese money was given to me as part of a Christmas gift from the Pharmacist I worked with, which he got back as "change" from a Chinese company that he bought a chess set from. :scratchhead (don't remember him giving any explanation as to why he got Chinese Yuan instead of a reduced price on the chess set) Ironically, he also served in Korea at about the same time I was there. He worked in a lab, playing with rat brains, while I worked in a railroad depot warehouse as the "straw boss".
