Picture choosen by: Mr.Kim Daesung Money & Cost in South Korea Currency
The South Korean unit of currency is the won (W), which comes in W10, W50, W100 and W500 coins. Notes come in denominations of W1000, W5000, W10,000 and W50,000.

Exchange rate:
1.00 USD = 1,108.85 KRW
1.00 SGD = 808.789 KRW
1.00 EUR = 1,484.14 KRW
1.00 CNY = 162.302 KRW
Currency conversion rates as of 24 April 2010.

Banks in most high streets offer foreign exchange services, although it may take some time. Tourist shops and hotels exchange money, but their rates may be slightly low than that of banks. US dollars are the easiest to exchange but other major currencies are accepted. Travellers cheques have a slightly better exchange rate than cash.

Better to reconvert left won into another currency before you leave the country, as it can be difficult or impossible to exchange won outside Korea. Even if you reconvert more than US$2000 worth of won at Incheon airport, you will have to show bank receipts to prove that you exchanged the money legally.

Cost
Korea can be an inexpensive destination for most travellers from developed country. With as little as W50, 000 a day, you can enjoy comfortable accommodation, simple Korean meals, snacks, alcohol. Besides, the country's network of splendid national parks is for free. If they are careful spenders, the cost may probably be less. If you request more comfort in your trip, this jumps to at least W300, 000 a day.
