Converting from South Korean Won (KRW) to Falkland Islands Pound (FKP)

What is South Korean Won (KRW)

The South Korean Won (KRW) is the official currency of South Korea, symbolized by ₩. It is subdivided into 100 jeon, although the jeon is rarely used in everyday transactions. The won was first introduced in 1902, and since its inception, it has undergone several changes, especially after the division of Korea in 1945. The current version of the won, known as the "won devaluation currency," was established in 1962.

The Bank of Korea, which serves as the central bank, issues banknotes and coins in various denominations. The most frequently used banknotes are ₩1,000, ₩5,000, ₩10,000, and ₩50,000, while coins are available in denominations of ₩1, ₩5, ₩10, ₩50, ₩100, and ₩500.

KRW is significant not only as a means of exchange in South Korea but also in international trade. As an export-oriented economy, South Korea's currency is often traded on global financial markets, reflecting the country's economic activities and performance.

What is Falkland Islands Pound (FKP)

The Falkland Islands Pound (FKP) is the currency used in the Falkland Islands, an overseas territory of the United Kingdom. The symbol for the Falkland Islands Pound is £, and it is pegged to the British Pound Sterling (GBP) at par. This means that £1 FKP is equivalent to £1 GBP in terms of value, making it easy for those who are familiar with the British Pound to understand the Falkland Islands' currency system.

Like the KRW, the Falkland Islands Pound is subdivided into 100 pence. The Falkland Islands Currency, established in the early 20th century, features unique designs that reflect the islands' culture and heritage. The currency is issued by the Falkland Islands Government and includes banknotes of £1, £5, £10, £20, £50, and £100, along with coins in denominations of 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, and 50p, as well as £1 and £2.

The Falkland Islands’ economy relies heavily on fishing, tourism, and agriculture. As such, the value of the FKP can fluctuate based on these industries, and its exchange rate with other currencies can influence local purchasing power.
