The Bank of Korea (BOK) will issue new 2,000 won ($1.78) banknotes to commemorate the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games. It will be the first time the bank has issued commemorative banknotes. In the past, the bank has issued commemorative coins or stamps for special events. The banknotes measure 140 by 75 millimeters. One side portrays eight sports, including speed skating, ice hockey, curling, biathlon, ski jumping, luge and bob sleigh. The other side features “Tiger Under A Pine Tree,” a painting by Kim Hong-do, a renowned artist from the Joseon Kingdom (1392-1910).
