[Photo] Korean won hits three-year high against USD

The Korean won posted a three-year high against the US dollar on Jan. 16, with the exchange rate closing at US$1 : 1063 won. This limited the supply of dollars that some customers were able to receive at currency exchanges across the country. A sign posted on the window of one currency exchange at the Seoul Station advises customers that a single person will only be able to exchange up to 1 million Korean won for US dollars. (Yonhap News)
