but i do, dont care if they use child slave labor, silver is silver, very heartwarming knowing that a 5 year old may have pressed this coin.

i guarantee each one of those coins was made in the US. I'm almost certain Franklin Mint made most of these coins. More than likely these never even made it to N Korea. Still cool stuff. just read this article http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNew ... 50806.html

I was under the impression that Kim Jong Il himself made those coins by hand without any dies when he was taking a break from being the world's greatest golfer.

LOL at the exchange rate = 10 won = 0.0111 of a dollar.

Is that why he had that haircut? Aerodynamics while out on the golf course?

I think "North Korea"? "Counterfeit". Even if they are not. I just don't trust anything from China, either Korea, or most of the rest of Asia.

I'm thinkin' that you guys don't have enough respect for the "Dear Leader". Keep in mind that the man wrote 1,500 books while he was in college. And under his rule 85% of the country's population did not starve to death. Personally I'm most impressed with his fashion sense. From his haircut to his spiffy duds that dude was a true chick magnet.

That video is funny. It is tough to make a funny video of the Dear Leader by trying to make him weirder than he was because he was about as weird as they come. Stalinism taken to the nth degree.
