Subject: Transcription of Korean Currency


Dear list,

even though I have read the new romanization scheme of the MOCT as of July
2000, I could not find the answer to my question and so refer to your
expertise:

How is the Korean currency to be transcribed according to the new
provisions? Would it be "Weon" or was "Won" chosen as one of the exemptions
from the rule?

Thank you very much in advance.

Rudiger Frank
