S. Korea Makes Money by Making Money

韩国先进铸造工艺印制各国货币

North Korea is notorious for its highly skilled counterfeiting¹, especially of American $100 bills. South Korea, however, is gaining a global reputation for minting money legitimately².

Many new 10 baht coins are not being minted in Thailand. The work has been outsourced to a state-funded Korean facility, that has also made rupees for India, agorot and half-shekels for Israel and centavos and pesos for Argentina. Korea Minting, Security Printing and ID Card Operating Corporation (KOMSCO) can produce more than one billion coins annually³.

许多新的10泰铢硬币并没有在泰国进行铸造。这项工作已经外包给一家由国家资助的韩国企业设施负责,而它也在为印度铸造卢比,为以色列铸造阿格洛和半舍客勒，为阿根廷铸造仙和比索。韩国铸造，安全印制和证件运营公司(KOMSCO) 每年可以生产超过十亿枚硬币。

The printing presses make notes for countries across Asia including Indonesia and Vietnam, as well as postal⁴ money orders for Bangladesh.

印刷机记录着包括亚洲许多国家诸如印尼、越南以及孟加拉国的邮政汇票等等。

KOMSCO sees exports as a driver for its future growth. Thus it is hoping to increasingly fill, around the world, pockets, purses and wallets with money made in South Korea.

KOMSCO将出口作为其未来增长的驱动力。因此企业希望在世界各地越来越多的口袋里、提包中、钱夹内充满了由韩国制造的金钱。

The raw materials for this money-making enterprise come from many countries. Currency notes begin as cotton pulp⁵ from China and Uzbekistan, and are later printed on machines imported from Switzerland and Germany. The company is a global leader in anti-counterfeiting technology.

这个赚钱企业的原料来自许多国家。纸币从中国和乌兹别克斯坦的棉浆开始,到后来在从瑞士和德国进口的机器上进行印制。这家公司拥有全球领先的防伪技术。

"Our 50,000 won note [worth roughly $50] has 22 anti-counterfeiting elements," said Bang Chang-il, a senior production control manager in the printing department. "In Japan, the U.S. and the United Kingdom their bills have only 14 while European notes have 21 such features."

“我们的50000韩元有22种防伪措施,”印刷部高级生产控制经理邦昌一说道。“在日本,美国和英国，它们的钞票只有14种，而欧洲钞票有这样的21种。”

The company says the special security ink it has developed is exported to Japan and Switzerland for making state-of-the-art currency, designed to foil even the most skilled counterfeiters.

该公司称其开发的特殊安全油墨已经出口到日本和瑞士制造最先进的货币专门用于设计挫败最熟练的造假者们。
