This is a place where your can find more than 15 outlets store of stamp, banknote and coin stores gather together at an underground shopping mall. </div><br /><div align="justify">Located just 5 to 10 minutes of walking distance away from Myeong-dong, a famous shopping place in Seoul, is one of the definite itinerary for many visitor in Seoul. I was managed to pay the place a visit during my recent tour to Seoul. </div><br /><div align="justify">At Heohyeon underground arcade, you can find just about every stamp, banknote and coin ever issued in Korea. Prices are ranging from few hundred won to few million won. Most of the outlets here are run by experts with enthusiasm in collecting. Besides Korean coin and banknote, you can also find few outlets that offer world currency collection.</div><br /><div align="justify">I was excited when visiting the place but it was not a fortunate day for me where many stores were closed during my visit day due to festival season. Nevertheless, I still manage to bag some items with reasonable prices.</div><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihbixSgY23r1nYhiGndy7-XoBoUHFAWfDUMJ-ngK71HGeDLChqkkD4dMOh2Uu9V8EtwcFm_KAZugCHtyawS3lrn3WVkQzdvmKC8EoasI2t9jRfbzl7QQNZm4f3c4MQujh4uKu8-m9iX60/s1600/Picture+172.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517911041865835026" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihbixSgY23r1nYhiGndy7-XoBoUHFAWfDUMJ-ngK71HGeDLChqkkD4dMOh2Uu9V8EtwcFm_KAZugCHtyawS3lrn3WVkQzdvmKC8EoasI2t9jRfbzl7QQNZm4f3c4MQujh4uKu8-m9iX60/s320/Picture+172.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p align="center"><em><span style="font-size:78%;">Coin, banknote and stamps outlet store located at Heohyeon.<br /></span></em></p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOpcSzO6wglSjsAbj1U8SM2Sp5EDVKpqgd7AhhL5teGEWP9vlfu1FxuExcMl08wAQx4Nu7CZRML4xLSa58XwrbXTmadz9bvaIhRsfRx6cvR8M_iSj95iHhY5QdPHSlVg0c9kR_o9pZdnE/s1600/Picture+121.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517911032499390754" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOpcSzO6wglSjsAbj1U8SM2Sp5EDVKpqgd7AhhL5teGEWP9vlfu1FxuExcMl08wAQx4Nu7CZRML4xLSa58XwrbXTmadz9bvaIhRsfRx6cvR8M_iSj95iHhY5QdPHSlVg0c9kR_o9pZdnE/s320/Picture+121.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p align="center"><em><span style="font-size:78%;">Another coin and banknote store located at Heohyeon underground.<br /></span></em></p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj39XDHLBpm2mF0EMCWUqsDEHXyu1UFegzWjZCDUTl1onTNMljau5tU5ze-Z6A7Q7znspBInkhPUGVbzjgm84LcQkbGw0jS1ZEVSSj6nh-_-TAXYbzVCnnyrpGIxGHgVx7vxsgzoKqMyeY/s1600/Heofyeon+Location+Map.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518440615530431634" style="WIDTH: 210px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj39XDHLBpm2mF0EMCWUqsDEHXyu1UFegzWjZCDUTl1onTNMljau5tU5ze-Z6A7Q7znspBInkhPUGVbzjgm84LcQkbGw0jS1ZEVSSj6nh-_-TAXYbzVCnnyrpGIxGHgVx7vxsgzoKqMyeY/s320/Heofyeon+Location+Map.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p align="center"><em><span style="font-size:78%;">Location map of Heohyeon underground where most stamp, coin and banknote stores are located.</span></em><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-549260427399356821.post-46768395407280081232010-09-17T23:45:00.010+08:002010-09-19T11:32:45.525+08:00Gyeongbokgung Palace<p align="justify">Gyeongbokgung, the oldest palace of Jeseon Dynasty, is located at the northern end of Sejon-ro Street.

Throughout the years, these notes were improved and reissued with adding new security elements. </p><p align="justify">The second revision of 5000 Won has been reissued on 12 June 2002. In addition, the 10000 Won has gone through two revisions which the second and third revision were released on 20 January 1994 and 19 June 2000 respectively.

We usually see odd denomination appear on commemorative banknotes, but this series of Burma circulation notes used abnormal denominations such as 15, 35, 45, 75 and 90 Kyat.</div><br /><div align="justify">It all began with the introduction of 75 Kyat note by Union of Burma Bank in November 1985. It is believed the odd denomination was introduced to commemorate Ne Win's birthday. He was the head of state from 1962 to 1981. This 75 Kyat note was then used as circulation note and subsequently led to the issuance of 15 and 35 Kyat notes in 1986. However, out of sudden the Burmese government demonetized the 25, 35 and 75 Kyat in 1987 resulted another political riot and eventually a coup in 1988. The 45 and 90 Kyat were introduced in 1987 which believed to be another favorite number of Ne Win.</div><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">15 Kyat (1986)</span></strong><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXqgWBd0ZzsU55W1HoKXa0TqLSrBP29I2-LhlXHzYjsrQ4no8KZhK5pBumiAGlOLmXyT_Pbv1td7A7iT3sbCWSyU5qVwwm9r6zh0i2gSgD3xkPEsWcwMlCSSX27d1E1x5o-xBgsqJ3qMk/s1600/Burma_1986_15Kyats_front.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494810634785497730" style="WIDTH: 320px;

This series of banknote was issued started from the lowest denomination of 5 Baht in June 1969 to the highest denomination of 500 Baht in July 1975. The 500 Baht was printed for the first time by Bank of Thailand.</span><br /></p><p align="justify">One of the interesting fact of this series of banknote is the involvement of the Note Printing Works which had begun their operations with the printing of banknotes in 1969. The Note Printing Works had managed to get through the whole production process, including the designing and engraving. But, the initial stage of its operation did rely on the foreign experts especially in producing the printing plates with joint effort from the Fine Arts Department particularly in unique Thai characteristics.</p><p align="justify">I personally like this series of the note because of the unique images depicted at the back of the notes.

Merlion is an imaginary creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish. Its name was created with the combination of "mer" and "lion" in which the "mer" carries a meaning of the sea. It is believed that the the fish body came from a fishing village of Temasek, a "sea town" according to Javanese language and the lion head represents the original name of Singapore, meaning of "lion city" or "kota singa" in Sanskrit and Malay languages.</div><p align="justify">This unique Merlion statue was used as a feature and depicted on the 2nd Series of Singaporean banknote - Ship Series.

In other words, it is the largest flower with <em>cluster of flowers</em> arranged on the stem that is composed on a main branch. Of course many recognise the Rafflesia as the world number one flower.
