An employee at a branch of CU in Gangnam District, southern Seoul, holds the convenience store chain's new gold products on Sunday. Starting Monday, customers can purchase cards embedded with gold in stores.
The gold piece is manufactured and certified by the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation, and will be available in 10 different limited edition types.
The products come in three different weights: 0.5 grams (0.018 ounces), 1 gram and 1.87 grams.
The lightest gold piece was introduced with 6 card designs based on MBTI personality types, while the 1-gram gold is designed with congratulatory messages on the card.
