C Correct answer
Explanation

Both North Korea (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) and South Korea (Republic of Korea) use the won as their currency, though they are different currencies - the North Korean won (KPW) and South Korean won (KRW). They cannot be used interchangeably and have very different values due to the economic separation of the two countries.
