drastic currency revaluation a few days ago, and calling in all old notes, but giving crappy exchange returns for them as well as limiting amount that can be reconverted into new currency...effectively wiping out savings of many in the DPRK who had somehow managed to save. and p*ssing off a lot of people in North Korea as a result, coalescing in minor disturbances so far...to the extent anyone can get internal news. People are going into a buying panic and trying to buy as many goods as they can before the old currency goes out of validity.
They limit the amount anyone can have to equiv. to the amount of about 40 dollars US, no matter how much money one had prior. Now they are going to shoot anyone who wants to pick up their marbles and go elsewhere? Nice.
