Kim Il Sung has Disappeared from the 5000 Won Note: Yet Another Opportunity For Speculation

According to information obtained by ASIAPRESS North Korea Reporting Team, some confusion followed the issuance of the new note, our North Korean reporting partner, residing in the northern border area, telling us via phone,

"Authorities announced the renewal of the 5,000 won note and its exchange policy on 24th July. But rumors have been flying around that the old 5,000 won would be invalid immediately after the issuance of the new bill and this has thrown people into a panic."
