Description

Coin change accumuiation system and method}

This is a coin accumulation system for all stores that trade goods or services. In the case of a small balance, the current ten won is perceived to be less than the previous member value because of the increase in the value of money in the amount of ten won. It is similar to the old one-won coins such as the shape, size, and weight of the old one. However, it is not desirable to discard the value of ten won and the ten-dollar abandonment, which is performed at some charging stations, etc., and it is also cumbersome to change the balance on a daily basis and to make ten-dollar coins that are not practically used nationally. Expenses are also a problem.

For this reason, the present inventors are applying for a coin earning system and method thereof.
