In 2006, it became a major concern that the South Korean won banknotes were being counterfeited. This led the government to issue a new series of banknotes, with the 5,000 won note being the first one to be redesigned. Later in 2007, the 1,000 and 10,000 won notes were introduced.

Hwan had a peg with the US dollar but with time it also got devaluated. This was the reason for the reintroduction of won in 1962 as the official currency unit.
