The life cycle of currency at the Bank of Korea Currency Museum 🇰🇷

#AustraliaFlightEvent #BankofKorea #koreatrip #museum #Myeongdong Yesterday afternoon, I experienced the journey of currency from its birth to its disposal through "The Life of Currency" at the Bank of Korea Currency Museum!!! The composition that showed the process of currency production, distribution, and recycling step by step on each floor from the 1st to the 3rd floor was eye-catching. In the banknote printing simulation experience, I was able to understand the complex printing process by operating the actual machine.. Only a part of it lol 📌 Points for solo travelers Recommended experience: Waste money recycling workshop → Put money in the banknote shredder yourself and make bookmarks with recycled paper (15 minutes, free) Hidden spot: Currency art gallery on the first basement floor → Large mosaic wall made of old banknotes (more gorgeous when lit up at night) Recommended snack: "Currency bread" (6,500 won) on the first floor of the museum → Banknote-shaped bread filled with red bean paste 🚨 Notes Recycling experience ends at 5 PM (first-come, first-served basis, 50 people on the day) No flash when taking pictures of the mosaic wall Currency bread may be sold out after 3 PM At the waste money compression block exhibition, I was shocked to see the process of discarded banknotes being transformed into huge metal lumps. I put the recycled paper bookmarks I made in the experience room on my bookshelf when I got home, and they remind me of the importance of environmental conservation every day!!!
