Hello everyone! is there a normal catalog of North Korean banknotes? (Krause, banknote book and website "banknote.ws" do not offer me. NK parts in this books is a terrible, and the site is not full) If the catalog does not exist, then I am interested in a few questions:
1. which prefixes has replacement banknotes?
2. where can I find a complete description of the varieties? (the differences in the cliche, watermarks, the size of the numerator, etc.)
3. any information on traveler's checks (not to be confused with bonds) and certificates to the 95th and 100th anniversary of Kim.
4. what are the edition of rare commemorative banknotes and checks?
5. Whether designers of banknotes are known?
6. why are the banknotes of 5 and 10 won 1992 printed by the intaglio, and in 1998 printed by offset?
7. why is checks of 1988 for capitalist visitors were printed in 3 color types? (I talk about chons)
8. what does the date range under the coat of arms mean? (for example, in the latest issue 2009 year 5, 10 and 50 won - "91-2002")
5. The designs are a result of the Heavens special relationship with the Great Leader and the Dear Leader. These works of art sprung fully developed into their mind and were engraved in a matter of hours by the leaders. They had a gift and it is a shame they could not teach their high skill.

Verweis : "Oklahoman"The date range is the year of Juche and the corresponding western year. This Juche date is the official date of the start of the Japanese occupation.
If I'm not mistaken, I'm sure the Juche calendar is counted from the birth of Kim-Il-Sung (1912). For example 2002-1912= 90/91.
The Japanese occupation of Korea began in 1910, which is less likely to have been chosen as the starting date for the North Korean regime's calendar.
