I'm guessing that the order to the Chongjidaemun Organic Vegetables & Battery Acid Cooperative can be filed under "cancelled". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinCityGr8One Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Perhaps, just perhaps the buyer of such notes thought it be useful as a replacement for toilet paper or it would make for an interesting wallpaper. I do believe the perpetrators that counterfeited North Korean notes should be held for a 72 hour mental evaluation before going to a holding cell. This would make for a good plot of Dumb and Dumber 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacuum Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Why would anyone buy North Korean won? Can't imaging the Thai banks would exchange them to baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
