The North Korean Won is the official currency of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea. There are two versions of spelling and pronunciation: "won" - in the feminine, as prescribed by the Spelling... Dictionary of the Russian Language of the Russian Academy of Sciences, edited by V.V. Lopatin, and "won" in the masculine - as the Bank of Russia writes in its daily quotes of the currency bearing the same name as South Korea. This is due to the complexity of translation from Eastern languages. Throughout almost its entire history, the Korean Peninsula has been under the cultural, political and economic influence of a powerful neighbor - China. This influence was also reflected in the monetary system of Korea. Until the end of the 19th century, the main monetary unit was the Korean mun - a cast bronze coin with a square hole.

History reference:
The Nepalese rupee has been the national currency and money of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal since 1932, when it replaced the Nepalese mohar at a ratio of 1:2. The first settlers on the te...rritory of todays Nepal appeared almost a thousand years BC. e. and over time settled in free areas. In the Middle Ages, there was already a kingdom here, which waged wars with its neighbors and managed to expand its borders. In 1768, the territory was conquered from India, where the capital of the state was later transferred. This is the city of Kathmandu, and today it is the capital of the country. The Kingdom of Nepal managed to make war with one of the largest states of that time - the British Empire. The fighting began in 1814 and ended two years later, in 1816. None of the parties won a clear victory, as a result of which a peace treaty was concluded that determined the borders of Nepal. They have remained unchanged to this day.
