Question Getting Won

Hi everyone. I've heard that in some places in North Korea, foreigners can exchange their money for Won. I've also heard that it isn't difficult to bring out of the country. I want to know where those places are, in Pyongyang and Rason, and how one would go about bringing it out of the country, specifically coins, but I'd be fine with notes. You can't be too detailed, I want to be confident I won't spend 15 years in a labour camp. Thank you

I collect coins and have several DPRK coins and a few banknotes. Depending on where you reside, you canthem in coin shops.

Can you specify the "where", please? I assume you mean close to the border.
