I was given cash as a wedding present from the UK, which was opened after our wedding in Korea.
I now have 400 pounds of UK cash, (Scottish sterling banknotes) which I want to exchange for Won.

Is there a money exchange near Seoul (without having to travel to Incheon), which I could use?

Thanks,
Ken

I have had friends who couldn't find anyplace in Seoul to exchange them. You MAY be able to exchange Scottish notes at a KEB currency exchange counter but MOST places (including money changers) won't touch them (Scottish notes as compared to "UK-British" notes).

You may have to travel to the airport.

Gave the money to KEB, who checked the Scottish notes on the PC first, and then were going to exchange at the main KEB bank which would take 1 month.
They are going to phone my wife when the money is ready for collection.
