Currency Exchange Rate

Postby hyunwoo » September 2nd, 2007 4:00 am

You might be wondering 'Why is Korean currency so BIG in number?" but I'd say it's only a matter of getting used to ^_^ LOL, although the reason behind it is the surge in prices back in 60s ~ 80s during the process of rapid development.

:D

As of today(2 September 2007), the currency exchange rate is

    1 US Dollar = 938.30 Korean Won
    1.07 US Dollar = 1,000 Korean Won

    1 Japanese Yen = 8.07 Korean Won
    123.85 Japanese Yen = 1,000 Korean Won

    1 Euro = 1,282 Korean Won
    0.78 Euro = 1,000 Korean Won

It's funny that living abroad, I secretly hope that the US will make some poor fiscal decisions to drive the dollar lower! :oops:

Cause it means good things for paying off loans and saving money!

The Canadian dollar's doing very well, too-- even reaching parity with the American dollar a couple weeks ago. While that's a very good thing in some circles, it doesn't help the manufacturing sector in my home province, Ontario.

Plus, it means that I'm not making as much money here vis-a-vis the Canadian dollar. I guess I'll just have to stay in Korea forever...
