Hello!
I am wondering if these coins from North Korea actually circulated. It says on the website that they did but there was a case in Somalia catalogue where this coin: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces4552.html was circulating coin but later moved to noncirculating.
Because North Korea is a closed country and their money cannot be brought outside of Korea, can we be sure that these coins were not made by private firms or something like that?
Is there anyone who visited the country or for sure knows if these coins are the ones people over there use it for purchasing goods?
Have a nice day everyone!
Those DPRK (North Korea) coins did circulate after being issued in 2009 after the revaluation of the Won but due to inflation caused by sanctions over the last few years has caused the coins mostly the lower denominations to become useless due to them not having any monetary value in them. So the coins are used to make numismatic coin sets that are sold within the country to tourists or exported to border towns of P.R China.

Hi Ole,
Just open YouTube and search for "North Korea", you'll be amazed at the number of tourist videos made by visitors from all over the world. It is quite interesting to watch, along with some other documentaries about life there.

I what quite a few tourist videos from across the world from Mexico,Maldives,Iran,Iraq,DPRK,Indonesia and others. This gives ideas where to travel after the pandemic ends in like 2-5 years time.
