Interesting fact
The 20 Won (Comrade) 2003 coin from North Korea features an image of a smiling Kim Jong-il, the former Supreme Leader of North Korea, on one side, and the number 20 and the words "Comrade" and "Won" on the other. It's interesting to note that the coin was minted in 2003, which was a significant year for North Korea as it marked the 60th anniversary of Kim Jong-il's birth.
