Korean won
The won (원, 圓) was the currency of Korea between 1902 and 1910. It was subdivided into 100 chon (전, 錢).
Etymology
Won is a cognate of the Chinese yuan and Japanese yen.
History
The won was introduced in 1902, replacing the yang at a rate of 1 won = 5 yang. In 1909, the Bank of Korea (한국은행; 韓國銀行) was founded in Seoul as a central bank and began issuing currency of a modern type. The won was equivalent to the Japanese yen and was replaced by the Korean yen in 1910 during the Colonial Era. In 1910, the Bank of Korea was renamed the Bank of Joseon (조선은행; 朝鮮銀行), which issued notes denominated in yen and sen.
Coins
Coins were minted in the denominations of ½, 1, 5, 10 and 20 chon, ½, 5, 10 and 20 won. The coins all carried the title of the "state", Daehan (대한; 大韓), and the Korean era name, Gwangmu (광무; 光武) and then Yunghui (융희;隆熙), whilst the specifications were equivalent to the coins of the Japanese yen.
Banknotes
No banknotes were issued denominated in won. However, Korean yen notes were issued by Dai Ichi Ginko (First National Bank (of Japan), 주식회사제일은행, 株式會社第一銀行).
Won (As Friends Rust album)
After having played the same material for three years, and wondering if new members should still be considered to keep As Friends Rust going, the band decided to record their first full-length album. This album is looked upon as their most mainstream album, and also the hardest to accept for older fans. However this album features some of As Friends Rust best written material, and was played live with much appreciation.

Yo! Waitin at your house with a twelve gauge pump
Throw me on stage, I make the place jump
Rockin over breaks until my day come
Reppin the East coast dawg (Pacewon!)
I got my eyes on the pie and I'm takin a cut
I don't play no games, my tools stay in the trunk
So if a nucca break fool I'll be sprayin him up
Who be talkin that "Rah Rah" shit? (Pacewon!)
Aiyyo I rip fools quick like I flip through whips
Roll down your block in a big new 6
Braggin bout the place where the chicks do tricks
Let 'em know, who da shit in Da Bricks? (Pacewon!) Like
[Chorus]
Yo, gimme your G, gimme your funds, yo
Gotta be me, I gotta be Won, yo
Gimme some weed, gimme a blunt, yo
Gotta be me, gotta be Won
I like ghetto.. music.. ghetto.. music..
Ghetto.. music.. ghetto.. music..
[Pacewon]
Yo I catch a body on real, I kill 'em on wax
King of all rap, make you bring it on back
Never thought I'd be makin sing-along tracks
I thought I'd be runnin 'round here slingin y'all crack!
Dealin y'all smack or stealin y'all act
Peelin y'all naps like Vietnam cats
G'in off gats and peein on hats
Cause none of y'all can't see me in combat
(I'm the) Pacewon-er, duck and take cover
Lyrics I kick so milk you taste butter
And if you jerks don't bounce like fake rubber
I'ma react and whip out the face cutter
Catch a buck-fifty, ear to the chin
Hair to the grin, come and fuck wit me
I'm ready to begin, waitin on your portrait or tec
like yo, where the fuck you niggaz been?
[Chorus]
Ghetto.. music.. ghetto.. music..
Ghetto.. music.. ghetto.. music..
