Monday, April 17, 2006
1 US Dollar = 611.172 South-Korean Won
1 South-Korean Won (KRW) = 0.001636 US Dollar (USD)
Median price = 595.628 / 611.172 (bid/ask)
Minimum price = 155.207 / 159.253
Maximum price = 950.661 / 975.419

| The rates look more stable on xe.com and KEB's site, but the Hyundai Kia chairman is about to be indicted, according to the times- maybe they're expecting the local economy to tank? |

There are clues in the minimum and maximum bid rates- the 611 won rate is the average- it looks like someplace late this afternoon the rates tanked big time. Or else it is a mistake.
Other sites say 955 won to the dollar, or in that range- which is still a big drop. |

| The rates for the Canadian dollar are pretty low on that site too. . so it's not a one time mistake |

'tother way round. They may expect the US economy to tank.
That debt burden - of bananna republic proportions - will come back and bite soon. |

Good for me.  Most of my money's in Korean Won anyway, with the rest in Thai baht. Both are appreciating. |
