Anyone know the procedure for cashing in large amounts of korean coins?
Should I take them to the bank and have them sort it out? or what?? |

| Ask your Korean co-teacher if there is a counting fee at some or all Korean banks. I have about 3 kg of coins too, & leave in May. |

| I bank with KEB and every year I take in a huge amount of coins. They will sort them for you on the spot if they aren't busy (they have a machine that does it). If they are, they will sort them later and deposit the money into your account. |

| Usually your bank will just take them for free if you act like a confused foreigner. I'm not sure about Seoul, but it works in the sticks. |

I'll take them.
Anyone who has coins, just give them to me. It will be my good deed of the new year. |

| The subway ticket machine will take 10-won coins. I once crashed a subway machine trying to feed it too many. |

Me too!! I must me mental too.
Stuff like coffee machines, tunnel/highway fees (if you drive).
10won coins are good to throw at people who try to run you over at crossings.
Giving the right amount or a bit extra to get only notes as change.
Ice-creams!!
